The Charge Of The Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson!

Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die. Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.

It’s been my mantra and my battlecry for the past few years now. Love it.

Narcissism defined.

Sounds like we gotta make a trip to the Dictionary Of Obscure Sorrows https://www.dictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/

God, I’d love to see the American variant of this for New Jersey Diners

The smell of the air conditioner wall unit at my mother’s old house. Musky. They were kept out in the garage, and my dad has no sense of smell. He would just put them in the windows and turn them on.

When I came home from school and got hit with the cold air, the smell, I knew it was summer. Yeah, sure, there’s probably a fungus in my brain that drives me towards the highest points I can find to release my spores, but, damn, it smelled like freedom.

Oh, that’s an idea. I have it currently listing the company on the top, and position below. Maybe I should swap the two…

Specifically, I do take my meds in the evening for this reason. No need for melatonin when the strattera brings the sleepy vibes.

My other reason is, since I’m doing IF, I don’t want to take them on an empty stomach.

Those are just my reasons. Not sure if they help, just thought I’d contribute

Ok, the question is: What would each distro taste like?

RedHat: A dark roast, bitter but caffeinated. You curse with each sip and can’t stop drinking it. You also pay the barista to tell you how to hold the mug.

I argue that every war since WW2 had people saying that it was the potential start of WW3.

I endorse this one.

I’m 34, was untreated for ADHD until a few months ago. I work in software development, and had various roles & responsibilities thrust upon me when people left. On top of that, managing a team through the COVID Lockdown and my own fracturing mental state really took a toll on me. The advice posted here is solid. When I took on everything, I had to learn these via Trail-by-fire. If I may add on:

• Always forgive people for their emotions. This is solid, but remember to apply this to yourself. You’re human, too. On top of that, your ADHD is not something You’re at fault for. Forgive yourself, don’t punish yourself.
• Having trust in your team is paramount. Backing them up, treating them as equals, and sharing advice you’ve learned from the previous generations will bolster them. I’ve had a lot of new people come in, asking “why were things done this way?” And I ask them “Knowing what we know now, how can we make them better?”
• “Balancing criticism with praise” should be tattooed on the hands of anyone in charge of a team. Pulling people aside to let them know that you’re proud of the work they’re doing and how much they mean to the team as a whole is golden rule that pays dividends.
• This does feed into forgiving yourself, be able to take criticism, but being able to take responsibility without coming up with an excuse is a tough one. I grew up with a father who would get overly physical with failures and mistakes. It’s in my nature now to make excuses so I don’t get beat. Hard for me to accept that everyone doesn’t think like my father does. But, failure is human. It’s a chance to learn. It shouldn’t be shunned as it should be observed and treated as acceptable.

All that being said, this was a great post. Thank you both!

Shouldn’t have used that Diet Coke bath bomb…

Yeah that sounds about right
