My boss is also my project manager, most of what she does is function as a sort of go between for us (the people on the ground actually providing the service) and the customer. That involves sitting in meetings with the customer higher ups to keep them in the loop on how things are going, bringing any issues that are preventing us from getting something done to them to make a decision on, figuring out the logistics of how something is going to get done, things like that.

Basically she deals with the people bullshit so all I have to do is go out and fix the problems.

Sakura is a matter of when not if, and iirc Makoto topped the most wanted character poll they did a while back so your odds of getting both eventually are pretty good!

Forgot how fun street fighter is, been having a blast the last week shaking the rust off and picking up a new character. Only problem is I placed really low rank and now that I've put things together I have a lot of games to win before I'm playing people that know what they're doing and it can get kinda mind numbing just blowing up the same thing again and again.

Gonna stick it out tho, can't let my buddy stay higher rank than me. 💪

Was dreading meeting with a user this morning based purely on vibes. Vibes were entirely wrong and I was stressing over nothing love my brain

Just hanging out waiting for the ADHD to give me a new thing to obsess over until one day I'm not feeling it anymore

Both my current and previous psych wanted to check heart rate and blood pressure every time I saw them (every 1 or 2 months) so yearly seems really infrequent to me. Maybe it's an Adderall vs Vyvanse thing?

I'd say cutting out the caffeine is a good start, can also try altering diet and adding some exercise to your routine to help as well, which is generally helpful for ADHDers anyway with mitigating some symptoms. Good luck!

Booted up street fighter 6 for the first time in like 10 months and tried taking a new character to ranked. It did not go well I went 1 and 9 in placements. Then I hit a ryu with an Isntrael flag and locked the fuck in and beat him 4 straight rounds

Bad: someone set off the fire alarm for the building literally as I was about to go to bed and now I'm wide awake

Good: got to pet a dog

For any into the beach enjoyers I highly recommend tactical beach wizards. Stayed up late playing and regretting it this morning.

Yeah happy for her. I think that officially makes me the token cishet of that friend group 🤔

I think an old friend transed their gender while I wasn't looking

A bizarre audio issue I've been dealing with for months where some applications (discord, steam) will stop playing sounds when I receive a message after some random amount of time (days usually) restarting pipewire.pulseaudio and relaunching the applications fixes it but it's annoying not realizing someone messaged me until hours later.

Discord flickering on Nvidia beta drivers when everything else works great now

For a minute there when my roommates window AC unit kicked on it sometimes blew the circuit my PC is on, and for some reason that was resetting my BIOS settings causing my PC to try to boot from the wrong drive. Dunno what that was about but it stopped happening so w/e

 

Just throwing this out there as a PSA.

Was bored at work and ended up reading something about vitamin deficiencies caused by some ADHD medications (from what I remember Adderall and Vyvanse). Among those listed was magnesium deficiency being a possible side effect. Went and bought a supplement last week and it's noticeably improved two different minor health problems I was dealing with (constipation and excessive popping in joints, particularly my wrists).

Bowel movements are now effortless and my wrists are much quieter. It's kinda crazy how drastic the change was. Can't find the original article I was reading but googling Adderall magnesium deficiency brings up a few different things to read.
