Yes to stages!! If I try to do the thing immediately I will get lost in an inception of side quests. So I have tables in every room dedicated to “things that need to go in another place”. Then when I’m going there, maybe I’ll remember to grab one of them 😅

Yes to multiples of things in each room/my car!! Off the top of my head I can think of: phone chargers, cups of pens and scissors, fly swatter, fans, Chapstick, hair ties. If I have to move it, Ive lost it

Blue blood from a horseshoe crab yes. Blue crabs are also a thing and horseshoe crabs are always referred to with the word horseshoe in front. So calling them just crabs with the word blue in front is a poor choice if one cares about communication.

I finished installing the flooring in my laundry room instead of proofreading a report that is painfully boring.

I am so angry that they don’t have an easy “report this posting” button. Firstly, you have to go on a computer, you can’t do it at all on the app. Then it’s a tiny bit of text kind of hidden under suggested products and the report form doesn’t allow you to upload photos or anything so it just feels like it’s a throw away form. So I did that and then contacted the customer service bot and you have to be careful how you word it because “I need to report a fraudulent seller” makes the bot respond with prompts about phishing emails or calls pretending to be from Amazon and if you try to go back and start over it remembers what you’ve already said and gets confused and just gives you dead ends… But if you can just get it to give you a customer service rep you can eventually get them to say nice words to you pretending they will investigate an “take care of it”. Which I’m sure is bullshit. Gahhhhh such angry

I’m not being the change I want to see in the world for sure when I say this but I’m definitely scared to be “out” in any way regarding mental health struggles at work. The closest I’ve gotten is talking about anxiety and stress burnout, which I’ve been very careful to do in corporate-speak. I just feel like I can’t risk being seen as “at risk” of not being able to handle my work, even if that means I’m more at risk of that happening than if I was actually being supported. 😭
