An actual eight-hours-in-a-row kind of workday planned for us.
Wonder if they packed fidget stims in the swag bag.

@c0debabe I usually do, but that’s one of the things I skipped in rushing out.
Along with a hairbrush.

Breakfast provided was excellent. It’s a shame my body isn’t really ready for food in the first couple hours.

@ddr I appreciate that! I woke up about three hours ago, reasonably well-rested. The green noise background helped.

Obvious neurospicy point ahead.
Looking over my note plan for the next few days, which honestly is really quite good, I ponder my persistent default state of scattered and scrambling.
I then remind the ghost voices of authority figures past that “just get yourself better organized” is not the easy helpful suggestion they thought it was. Sure it gives me better odds of finding the nugget I need, but not in proportion to the work I do collecting these notes.
“Just get organized” or “just apply yourself more” is for #ADHD right up there with “just go for a walk” for depression, and almost as bad as “just go for a walk” for somebody wheelchair-bound.

@c0debabe “a delight to have in class; if only they applied themselves more” is a triggering phrase for sure.

@kusuriya @c0debabe right? RIGHT?!

@hummingrain @hacks4pancakes I am a bear of the sort of brain that sees how numbers change, and this metric is based on games with achievements that you have opened to play (or stare at splash screen and go “nah.”)
That is actually how I reduced my achievement percentage.

Okay we’ve done three hours of stuff. Can we be done with the three day event yet?
No?
Dang.

You would think hotel conference room chairs might be more amenable to sitting for hours at a time.

@c0debabe my butt concurs

Hotel staff calling me “sir” and I’m all “don’t call me ‘sir’ I w– ok no sorry. My mistake. As you were.”

generations, possibly centuries of military service in my family but all that reached me was a few NCO jokes and a fondness for 24 hour clocks.

End of first day, dinner and social gathering. I ate two sliders, talked to two people, and my social drive dinged “empty; please refuel.” Loudly.
Also the check engine light but pretty sure that’s been on for a few years now.

Went back into the social event to meet up with some of my teammates and although I’m glad I did my ears are very mad at me.

Apple Watch was like “it’s loud. It’s still loud. Jesus is Bouncy Dog there with you or something?”
