there’s a morbidly hilarious disconnect between the inherent angst/tragedy of veterinary medicine and the type of names people like to give their animals. I’m afraid Mr. Wiggles has lymphoma. Tater Tot is being admitted to the ICU. I’m here to pick up Bruce Wayne’s ashes.

You ever read a fic that changes you so intensely as a person that you can't stop thinking about it so you sit in an empty chapel with a coffin behind a curtain for a service later in the day talking to a coffin about a fic that changed your entire life

#canarysong.txt #workblogging #this is entirely uniquely a me problem HAHAHA #sometimes ill be puttering aroundmy chapel setting up and bc the service is at 11 and its 9 rn the coffin was an early delivery #its on the cataflaque already #but ill just talk to the coffin as if they can hear me #whenever i walk around the back way through the crem and have to walk past the coffins #i always say hi anyway #just feels polite #anyway. #so many ghosts know about my blorbos #mostly funeralverse bc i think its funny and ironic but today they were subjected to redstone and skulk #sometimes i just mumble about lavi making me suffer #i am unwell #(rotates my blorbos in my mind)

the children's father has massively failed at parenting while I'm here, exacerbating a massive meltdown over a small issue that I HAD HANDLED, and i am :)) going to get myself fired :)))))) he's going to ask me a question and I'm going to tell him i understand why his daughter left him, and he should die in a fire :))) like OBVIOUSLY she left them because they were piece of shit parents, but all it taught them is to freak out over censoring their children's media intake. im going to scream.

medical lab tests seem a lot more straightforward before you know that on the other side of those numbers there is a fiddly-ass machine with the temperament of a flighty racehorse and the reliability of a home office printer. "I can't detect the sample. oh, there's actually a blood clot in the sample, start over. also some vital piece of plastic inside me is covered in weird gunk, so you have to take me apart and clean everything. replace my reagent! clean my filter! run my quality control! restart the whole lab station! call the manufacturer! update my software! no, I can't tell the difference between bacteria and sperm, I don't even know why that matters."

As I complained in my post about emailing coworkers, I think the single most difficult aspect of work life is communication. This is especially true for people who struggle with communication in the first place as neurodivergent people. My sister (slash coworker) offhandedly mentioned hearing about something that we now both use at work.

goblin.tools is "a collection of small, simple, single-task tools, mostly designed to help neurodivergent people with tasks they find overwhelming or difficult". It is completely free, works on desktop or mobile, and if you really would like an app for it, it's extremely cheap on the app store.

The Formalizer helps if you're not sure how to word an email. You put in what you're trying to say and it will help you word it the way you want, whether you want it to sound more or less professional, casual, etc.

The Judge is good for both sending and receiving messages. It checks how your own tone comes across or how other people may be trying to communicate from their text.

There's also time-management tools:

Magic Todo helps you break down big tasks into smaller pieces, and Lets you tweak how detailed it gets, too.

The Estimator tries to give you an very rough idea of how long a task may take based on what it is and how stressful you may find it. I haven't used this one yet but I think it might help some people who have time-blindness like I do.

The Compiler is good if you have a basic idea of things you need to do, but you're not sure how to break it all down. Just type out your thoughts and it will use that to make a list.

The Chef is for getting cooking ideas based on the ingredients and tools you have available. I know I tend to get paralyzed by trying to figure out making dinner, so this is great. I've seen apps that can do this but I've not had the best results with them, so I'm going to give this one a try.

If you need instructions for any of them, just click on the question mark at the top of each page. Full disclosure, these tools work based on AI, so your mileage will definitely vary, but so far the Formalizer and Magic Todo have already been a huge help for me.

it's so gross to me how ppl who work with kids (in SpEd specifically) will laugh when the kid is really upset like "that's just [kids name] they're fine"

like obviously they're not fine.... behavior is communication and they're communicating that they're not fine
