Ah bugger. I think I’m realising the thing I wanted to do, I’m not going to be asked to do, even though it was promised, and it’s now taking me away from other stuff I want to do. 🤔

Spread so thin, partly work, but partly refusing to compromise on the things I want/need to do for a change 💪

How many relationships quietly die due to SEN? Shouldn’t be a taboo to say it either. Pretty much single these days.

I’m confident that three days total bed rest, which I ain’t getting, might take the edge off my broken state for a bit

I still maintain, parents today are unnecessarily running around like headless chickens, organising shit, their kids will not remember, then losing it with each other, siting unequal ‘mental load.’ Just be with your kids. Ours remember Covid so fondly. Why? We spent so much quality time with them.

Bit tired and lethargic all day. Then last hour I get an idea for something, mock it up and get excited about how it could work in practice. Think that’s design for you.

SEND to us means often a 2-3 hr rigmarole of getting him to eat tea. Then the same again getting him to bed. Tired

I’m either crushingly bored with work or burnt out. Likely the latter

I still think parents (us Inc) tie themselves in knots with the amount of pressure they place on kids to try everything. Then wonder why they’re skint and shattered. The curmudgeon speaks again.

Gets a part-time job, gets ALL the freelance work. We know what would happen if I dropped the pt job (which I’m not) 🤔

I think (some) clients don’t really want a designer. It’s someone who knows which buttons to press in Adobe CS. Partly why Canva, AI and the likes is a big threat to the design industry?

Design by committee, never a good thing. No one person taking the lead. My emails suggest another long day of revisions to no particular end, on a job which really doesn’t merit the time devoted to it. Happy Monday all 😴 x

Never understood when a person doesn’t fancy doing a job, rather than saying ‘no thanks’ they prefer to fall from the face of the earth 🙄🤷♂️

Locked out his kids YouTube app and discussed with him. Let’s keep it simple, with one aim he can focus on. Don’t hit your sister. Do that for a week, it comes back. 🙏 🤷♂️ got to try #adhd night x

Genuine question. How do you discipline a child with ADHD? Sure, a high proportion of bad behaviour is the condition, but there’s got to be some shithousery we need to work on, even if it’s only 5%. Being taken for mugs imo. Take away a nice thing. Fuck all effect.
