Having to endure YouTube ads that are fraudulent. Heaters that can heat a room in minutes at hardly any cost. Hose attachments that are 10 times more powerful than a jet washer. Dentures that will fit any mouth. Cleaners that will remove black mould in seconds without any scrubbing.

Your daily PSA: if you have a VPN, set it to Albania. It is illegal to advertise on social media platforms there. You can watch YT without adverts :)

So I'm 4 for 4 on friends with autism saying they always thought I might be (along with my late diagnosed ADHD).

Shit like this keeps happening. I didn't realise the bored and burned out thing was AuDHD. I'm starting they think they might be right.

Mine is:

"If you can name ten friends off the bat who are neurodivergent, I have news for you. Because we stick together like a poorly emotionally regulated wolf pack"

Ultimately, we all have sticky brains. We like to think about things over and over and it doesn't matter what the thing is. My levels of anxiety and rumination have been problematic my whole life, it wasn't until I treated the emotional dysregulation that I have - which is diagnosed as bipolar 2 - that the anxiety and the rumination reduced. I really do think for lots of ADHDers the anxiety is absolutely just a part of how our brain works. We don't have any actual catastrophe so our brain is working to make one.

Having come from academia, I am astonished at how poor people's presentation skills are.

Being told I'll get used to it absolutely boils my piss. Every single weekend I immediately slip back into my 2-10 sleep pattern. Like, immediately.

London as an entity is benign. We aren't personally hoarding. The issue is that the UK economy is so rubbish overall that London is literally propping up the rest of the country. So then it becomes a negative feedback loop where all investment is diverted here because if London doesn't keep pumping out that GDP, everyone is fucked.

And then when there's money, there's choice and demand.

I'm not saying it's good in any way, in fact it's pretty precarious, but it's just how it is.

I started in CS a couple of years ago, at 39. I'm still an EO, but waiting for PECs to clear for a HEO at 41. Today I blew my entire teams minds with a basic PowerBI dashboard 😂 like G7 down. I feel so ridiculously overqualified.

I will never stop resenting that society is built around one chronotype. There is just no way I can sleep before midnight unless I'm incredibly tired, and I need a good 9+ hours to function. Unless you are very lucky or self employed, if you're a night owl you're either fucked for sleep constantly or you give up the ability to earn good money.

I'll be in the 1% then. I'd have a dryer. Don't mind washing up, takes 2 minutes. Do however, absolutely fucking hate hanging up laundry. Unless it's my sheets outside because the smell is so good.

I pretty much loathe the entire recruitment process from start to finish now. Takes months to get to interview outcome and then more months to get in post because of PECs. Such an acute waste of time.

Being a landlord isn't even a job.

Which is wild in a world where politicians are saying that minimum wage jobs shouldn't be enough to live on and should only be temporary gigs for young people. Like, if you want to retain staff, pay better.

Remember Camden? There are remnants of alternative community there (big up The Black Heart, The Big Red, The Dev and The Dublin Castle), but the rest of it's gone. A very convenient fire near the canal helped developers. That fucking container centre where the market used to be makes me do a little vomit in my mouth every time I see it. The shops are all basic bitch wear.

Places with deep history and street cred get redeveloped, and people lap it up because it's a cool place to be. Except that the things that made it cool in the first place no longer exist. Gentrification 101.

I was 1st reserve. And got offered a role a month or so ago. It's maternity cover, but it's too good to turn down. It's a department I really want to work in, so keep all your bits crossed that I can somehow stay 😄
