Minor vent about ADHD
I have been struggling with work for the past month in large part because I've finally gotten on top of all the fires and problems there. All the looming deadlines are finished successfully. Things are largely running like a well oiled machine.
…all the work that's left to do is little stuff that no one really notices. I have a _lot_ of that work stacked up... and I can't seem to force myself to make much progress on it... which means I'm stressed out over it.
ADHD suucks!

@Momentrabbit SAME, OMFG SAME.
I learned CPR and First-Aid because in a crisis I'm one of the most level-headed people I know.
When things are going smoothly and I have a project to chip away at... it's pure torture. All I can do is stare at it and wonder what the point is.

@mawr Give me an unexpected emergency, and I shift gears into an improvisational flurry, putting out fires, triage the wounded, order replacements, build a reactor.
Give me relative peqce and long-term goals that aren't urgent *yet?* I'm... useless. Until it's too late.
