  • To protect everyone involved, this may or may not have happened ;)

    Was working interstate at a new location for a few weeks. I didn’t know the area well enough and got caught up with traffic and lack of parking on my first day, so was late. No major issue but I knew I would have to come in earlier to avoid that in future. I started coming in at 630 because I am an early riser and my contract had me doing longer hours than the workers. I could be early and still in the office before everyone left at the end of the day.

    Across the alley was another older office building that I noticed I could see clearly into an office, just above the desk area. On my first day I watched this older male manager hold meetings and so on. Nothing interesting.

    On my second day, just before 7am, I watched this much younger woman appear in his office and undo her blouse before going to town on this guy. Kneeling behind his desk, head bobbing like a chicken eating feed. 5 mins later he must have been done as she wipes him down and they both straighten themselves up.

    I then proceeded to notice her coming in and out of his office all day for meetings so I assume it was his secretary or assistant. Nothing else of that nature happened again throughout the day.

    Next day, same thing. And it carried on every day of my 3 week contract.




  • I’m likely to do that shortly. I’m in an environment with a few toxic colleagues who know fuck all about what needs to be done, or how to do it, but manage to impact decision making and cast doubt on my abilities and deliverables to date. I have had to step outside of my role to deliver multiple big ticket tasks (e.g. I’ve been brought on to uplift code for multiple applications, but have also had to build a MEM deployment from scratch as there was no endpoint management), but no-one has the knowledge or the interest in taking over the finished products, expecting I’ll add it to my responsibilities.

    A job is about to open up elsewhere that I’ve been encouraged to apply for, so I’ll keep trudging along and will let them know at my notice period. I’ve tried so hard to get involved with no luck, so now they’ll be forced to take interest.

    Same boat, except I was diagnosed before hand. I was scrolling one night and adhd content started started to appear where people were talking about how it impacted their lives (albeit via stupid lists). It actually pinpointed a lot of behaviours I exhibited and put meaning to them. I was sceptical at first but started to see more and more of the same behaviours being highlighted, so I wrote them down and took them back to my shrink, who sat down and went thru them with me and we started to work through them. Was actually quite helpful.

    No worries. They each have newer models out, but I have no need to upgrade from what I’ve got. Have a look at video reviews comparing each to their newer models and decide what’s best for you. You can pick up the older versions cheaper if they’ll do that job.

    The mlfb isn’t bad, it was my first dry herb vape, but these are miles away a better option.



  • It sounds like you have access to different strains, so try mixing them up.

    I have a lower THC sativa for mornings, which gets me thru the day. I have a hybrid for around 5pm, which is like having a few beers after work. Then I have a strong indica for bedtime.

    I’ve been on prescription opiates for years for a bunch of conditions, and while I do get a buzz from it, it’s not what I’m chasing and it settles quickly.

    Also, worth considering how you smoke it. I vape in the morning and in the evening, and then a pipe before bed. Each hits differently, and works well for me. Might work for you too.
