Here. Feeling worn down at work. Gotta get some good news going to turn things around.
Slept well for the first time in what feels like weeks. Wish I hadn't set an alarm. Regardless, I got up and rode like 15-20mi on the zwifter without a workout plan, which felt good and I needed to do something just for fun. Back to the grind...

Sometimes I am entirely convinced I have ADD. Such a hard time focusing on any given task for more than a few minutes at once.
Either that or the constantly in demand, fast paced world we live in has ratcheted up my anxiery and never letting me feel settled in any given moment.

I feel like I've been in the struggling mode (with occasional trips to surviving and in-crisis modes) for the past four-five years but eventually you get used to everything. Hang in there.
Shakedown ride with the new battery pack was a success, now I have to re-package it for durability. I shall be joining a ride with my czech beer buddies tonight.
Updating one of our towers to Windows 11. Big download.
Could be Covid/Pandemic fatigue. Almost two years of being in crisis or survival mode is a Hell of a lot longer than most of us have experienced.

Bitch please.
Got a sick doggo at home, been cleaning up diarrhea and vomit since last night. She looks so sad, but at least now we have her quarantined to the back of the house where there's no rugs.
Woke up at 4am with a sleep boner. Pfizer booster, I'm looking at you.
Couldn't fall back to sleep, so I'm sure I'll need a work nap.

Yes.
They refuse to drink other beers than pilsners, but given the scarcity of the real thing these days, they drink gallons of Jack Abbey's lagers instead.
Talked with my neurologist about it a few weeks ago. She totally agrees that I might (probably, but she's not allowed to diagnose it) have it. I seem to be at my capacity to maintain stress levels based on the amount coming at me and my inability to organize and complete any given task before getting sidetracked into another, with the only thing allowing me to get things done is raw urgency or consequence.

I think the group here as a whole could diagnose me, but @Nick will likely be lol'ing at this list.

Primarily mine would be inability to focus, forgetfulness, and restlessness. Heck, if I can dedicate 10 minutes of focused time on any given task it's a win. I always have thoughts about completely random things flying into my head. Things I want to lookup, things I need to do, its like my mind is constantly being bombarded with outside thoughts. Sometimes I go into a fugue state lost in these thoughts and snap back to reality 10 minutes later.Talked with my neurologist about it a few weeks ago.

It makes it incredibly difficult to get things done at times. I've been coping somehow, but I'm wondering if I'd benefit from some help.
I, too, am feeling burnt out. This has just been a shitshow at work from July through now.
December schedule looks better, though, and then there's ski season to keep my spirits up (with the coincident lack of me signing up for extra shifts when I'm busy with that).
Good job UPS freight, you started crushing my $100k scanner, but at the last second realized that’s a warning, not a target
Rt Achilles is doing better. I can almost walk normally. Ruth and her friend

Morning Monkeys.
So as some may recall my neighbors van was stolen and never replaced. Yesterday she borrowed the neighbors "spare" car to fetch her kids. This just seems weird to me. I can get not replacing the expensive Odyssey minivan, but you clearly need a second vehicle, so just get a beater?
Am I weird? I can't imagine asking to borrow my neighbors car. But then again Brian across the street borrowed my truck to haul dirt because his is too nice. So there is that.

Can confirm, have almost all of those, no one has diagnosed me with ADHD.
I have read all the replies to this thread as of Squeeb's 1:43 offering.
I just had my biweekly staff meeting. I don't know why we do things things every two weeks. Seems like once a month would suffice, but I'll stick to the biweekly schedule just for the mere sake of doing something as the manager. I swear I spend three times as long preparing than the meeting actually takes. What kind of asshole hosts a meeting without being prepared tho?

That’s great. We borrow our neighbours car occasionally, and friends have borrowed ours. Mini-socialism ftw.
Many assholes do that, and I think your ratio is good. A high-powered businizz mentor once told me you should spend twice as long preparing for (hosting) meetings as their length. Has been good advice.
I don't know how accurate this is but I think I can say that I fell into these behaviors during the pandemic with the described results, which sounds similar to what you are dealing with.
I fit about 80% of that list and at times I am an extreme asshole. But most of the time I am just a grumpy old bastard
Great success. Picked up my pass and skied a few hours of nice soft snow. Boom, bring on the work day.
Staff meetings for the entire company/building/whatever or just your team?
We have weekly meetings for our Team, which are structured for the first 15-20 minutes and then its just a free for all. Its nice because none of work in the same building or on the same things on a day to day basis, so it can be good for throwing ideas and trouble points out there.
