Reorganization at work; new manager (but ive been dealing with him before), and I get a teamleader to offload him.
Luckily, ive been in this game so long, it doesn't bother me. No organization lives more than 2 years before it needs to be changed.

That's it; doctor ordered long-term partial sick leave. 25% off every day for the rest of the year.
In addition to having already gone from 5-day to 4-day workweek.
I simply can't work, despite being pretty good at what I do, when Im able to do it. 😢

Half of the vacation has already passed. And I'm far from rested. In fact, so far, it's been extremely busy with partner being away almost every single evening.
Ah, well. Now, the calmer period of it begins. Then I'll try 4—day working week for the rest of the year...

4:40 and neither my brain or amygdala has any intention to relax and go to bed.
My meds have made me drowsy, but not enough to relax and keep my eyes closed for longer than a minute or two....
Grrr.. I want to sleep!

One week into vacation. Starting to be able to sleep long in the mornings (woke up at about 12, but didn't get up at until 15).
Unfortunately, had a big brawl with the partner yesterday. :-( Barely spoke to her since. Takes me days to recover from such brawls. :-(
Fxxx.

Partner went away for a girls-only trip this morning. Back on Friday. She deserves it.
Today, the ADHD kid and the ADHD/Autism kid is already all over the walls, after being calm for several weeks.
God, please give me strength!

Inner monologue? I just saw a post about people NOT having an inner monologue?!? 🤯
I didn't know there were such a thing as lack of inner monologue!
Anyone here heard about that before?
To me, it's a constant talk, repeating of sentences, visualization of dialogues and snippets of music.

Finally #Vacation! Although the spring holds plenty of national holiday, giving longer weekends, I'm still exhausted. Asked my manager for another week of vacation, and am going to take every Friday off for the rest of the year.

EU requests for insurance proof ignored by over a fifth of ships
The EU has made it a mandatory requirement for ships passing through European waters to provide proof of insurance, but nobody is clear what happens if the one in five ships refusing to engage do not comply

Sunday saw an attack on Oslo power grid.
A disused transformer next to the new 300 kV one was emptied of 60 ton oil after a break in.
Clumsy execution?
I believe a successful attack would have taken out about 30% of Oslo area electricity transfer capacity, caveat, am not a power engineer.

I've finally managed to complete a work-task that's been under my responsibility for quite a while.
Now it's "only" peer-review left to do. Then fix up. But in the mean time, I can Move on to the next.

Fxck.
Felt bad yesterday, so I had a nap between job meetings.
Today, I didn't even start working.
Anxiety and tired.

I've been procrastinating a lot at work lately. Like a lot.
Usually it goes "yes, tomorrow I have almost no meetings at all - finally i will have time to tackle the X problem!"
Tomorrow:
Starts by tackling the totally unrelated issues popping up during the day, without really finalizing them.

Two weeks of vacation is almost up.
Spent most of the time either sleeping or scrolling.
Feels like I've wasted two weeks of potential creativity on nothing.
Maybe I should take a shower today, not waiting 2 days?

Remember:
A new years resolution doesn't have to be to change your behavior to better fit the society's expectations.
It can be to simply remain authentic and unmask even more.

After I quit job at an ex-employer, I was left with a One Drive on my personal computer, connected to my work account.
Which I can't uninstall, because I need to log in to the - now suspended - work account.
