Something scheduled. I am useless in the lead up because "I have to be ready"
Even a Teams call where I know what to do and say and am fully versed in the topic. The whole day I'm like "got that thing at 11, can't miss it".
And then I randomly start doing something else and forget the really important appointment or meeting anyway
10:58 waiting with the Teams window open, might just check my email
11:17 oh no
AuDHD gang.
Turns out the Sword of Damocles is not a parable about the precariousness of people in positions of power, it's just a first hand allegory of a neurodivergent person with a scheduled phonecall in the the afternoon.
Something scheduled that gets canceled 5 minutes before it's supposed to happen.
God thats the best feeling
I had an in person meeting that did that recently. I'm wfh most of the time, and this really soured me
So much this.
omg 100%. if I have anything going on at all, even if it's just a fucking delivery, it ruins my whole day
Opening the post to comment an afternoon appointment…. Yeah.
