    So good news and annoying news.

    I can work from home tomorrow but I have to essentially video chat/screen share the whole time with my… assistant of sorts. Like she’s not an assistant but she does assist me in things. Iunno. Anyways, I’m basically giving her free reign to reply to all the emails I can’t get to. Because the place I work for, one of the websites they look after you can’t have just anyone logging into the emails which is annoying but I understand.

    In other good news and annoying news, went to the doctor’s and the doctor didn’t even print of the referral and the poor receptionist was trying to print it off but it wasn’t printing correctly. I got to the doctors at maybe 5:15 or so, and I only left at like 5:35. Like the receptionist was checking all the papers from this doctor and I just go “I have a feeling she didn’t print it off because she thought she could email it to me.” and yeah pretty much. Then I got picked up by a yank tank and I hated it. I hated getting into it, my chronic pain hated it. I just hated every second.

    And now I’m overstimulated and I just want to cry and die. Possibly at the same time, maybe one after the other. And then I’ve gotta cook dinner, but I’m excited for dinner. I just… UGH. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk guys.

      I feel you. I had to do the whole training/screen sharing thing for new hires in India. Generally I keep it to a 2 hour session and then get them to practise/slack questions in combination of “busy” work to keep them occupied. No way I could do that for a full day.

        Luckily I only work 5 hours. But even training her has been draining af.
