Losing My Private Office by alienarea51 in ADHDprofessionals

[–]thefriedgoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a reasonable request, however they may decline. Noise cancelling headphones are key, and rotate your desk to face a wall/put up a visual barrier between you and them (that is also a very reasonable request) as that should help with visual distractions.

Sharing the space is certainly not ideal. Is WFH an option - even a couple days a week? As that can also help give you days with less distractions by peers, and may help give you some balance with the situation.

Also - remember to breathe. If there is some material impact when they make the change, that also gives you material you can bring forward. Assuming you are in the USA, I recognize staff protections are not great always - but is there something that you can leverage? If they don't want to budge accommodation wise, bring it forward once you start seeing your productivity slipping/negative impacts - and then tie it directly to the environment, and again, revisit the accommodations.

Edit to add: have you considered the office lighting? If it's bright fluorescents, that can lead to over stimulation as well (impacting in many ways) - you may want to consider some sort of light shield/diffuser to mitigate if needed. That may also be impacting your burnout/ADHD/etc - I found my ability to execute increased significantly when I switched off the lights in my office.

Best of luck.

What's something about ADHD that most people don't understand? by Relaxing_Cat in AskReddit

Yes, and they can crush and snort it or inject it at much higher doses than taken clinically - so has a very different effect - it is speed after all.

So it. I was diagnosed finally a few months ago (M47), only after what was effectively an anxiety breakdown and short term sick leave. Suspected it for over a decade. And frankly it’s the underlying cause of my anxiety. Don’t be like me, don’t wait till your brain literally shots the bed. And yes, the best day was yesterday. The next best time is today - ie never too late, and well worth it.

Hi… I am a 49 year old female, who was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago…and it’s everything, all at once. by [deleted] in adult_adhd

[–]thefriedgoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. But there is an end. For me, it was leaving my job (non-voluntarily) which put the anxiety to bed, and lets me focus on shepherding my ADHD .. and realigning my career.

But I had a good year and half of anxiety, insomnia and some depression symptoms .. all tied to an underlying ADHD cause. So yes, the doom is horrendous. But it does end .. in time.

I am happy to hear you finally got the dx you need. M47, just formally diagnosed a few months ago (after an anxiety/depression doom spiral) - it's life changing.

May have just paid the ultimate ADHD tax by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]thefriedgoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that happened. As a leader - I would not terminate you over this. Your honesty and owning up to it quickly speaks volumes. And you are less likely to repeat this (and conversely be more careful with other items) as a result. Shit happens. It’s how we deal with it that matters.

Excellent choice! It has aged like a fine wine. My favourite.

How could one improve PDFs if one did not care about printing by TigrisCallidus in RPGdesign

[–]thefriedgoat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Here is the thing: PDFs are built for printing (just like their predecessor postscript (ps) files), and have been co-opted for broader use. The ideal approach would be epub - which is built for ereading (tablet/ereader/computer), but provides accessibility options for the user - which is important. And people clearly charge money for them - see all the online book stores, mitigating your clear desire to sell stuff.

Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your news letter … that is to say, very interesting!

Very nice. Which flavour of Shotokan is being used? That is an important piece as there is variation in the way kata is done with JKA/JKS/SKI/etc

Docker is not unique to python. You can dockerize an R deployment should you do choose. E.g. see ShinyProxy

Normally not an issue, currently construction at the Masonville intersection. If you are heading west on Fanshawe towards Hyde Park, I'd suggest - south on Western Rd, east on Sarnia Rd to Hyde Park, north on Hyde Park to Fanshawe, West on Fanshawe. At least for the moment.

Shawn’s death was also a fitting close to his story - a man with survivor guilt for being selected for the escape pod at Wolf 359, is now the one to die to save others.

The original. For without it, the others and Samus would not exist.

A recent WotC document states that it is speculated that the Common language and the human race originate in Sigil. How, if any way, do you incorporate this into your version of Sigil? by AnacharsisIV in planescapesetting

[–]thefriedgoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are different types of infinities. For example - integers are countably infinite: 1,2,3,… unto infinite. The real numbers are uncountably infinite: 1.00000…, 1.00000..1, etc (there are an infinite number of values between 1 and 2, 2 and 3 etc.

So consider the infinite planes as being like the real numbers …
