Today I turned in my key for a workplace wherein I learned a lot but in retrospect was treated less than fairly. I'm still employed there, just working from home in a much smaller capacity. Not clear on how I feel about this, just typing. Wanna share about some not great jobs y'all've had?

Here y'all, enjoy the sound of me fighting for my life as I record some of the DSM-V-TR entry on ADHD. I didn't want to haul the whole computer into the closet, so I just used a voice recording phone app with my mic. App suggestions or general advice welcome!

Things I've recently relearned while trying some audio stuff:
1. The DSM is copyrighted, because of course it is.
2. I still have within me a test proctor voice that has lain dormant since grad school.
3. I sure do have a fuckin lisp! Apparently obvious to many people around me?!

STOP. This is a selfie checkpoint. You must repost with a cute selfie to proceed.

Last week, I posted a minute of an old video as a YouTube short just to see how it'd do. Went okay enough that I may start alternating long and short videos to get more mileage out of what I've already made. I'm researching, but would welcome any suggestions/advice on this topic!

I bought this cool magnifying paperweight thing from an antique store today because TODAY’S MY FUCKING 44TH BIRTHDAY AND I LIKE TO PARTY HARD.

My old phone is now well and truly dead. Time to agonize over my new phone case purchase and how well it encapsulates my entire personality.

Y’ever get your picture taken by a friend and it randomly looks so nice that you're thereafter obligated to use it as a profile pic for a while? One of those happened to me recently. In it, I am holding (and gazing lovingly at) a chicken.

Mildly self-deprecating joke about poorly handling the absurd state of the world. Encouraging thought and vague joke about revolution.

Recently dreamt I was recording myself reading diagnostic criteria from the DSM-V-TR, audiobook style. Tried to read ADHD aloud today with no mistakes and it was tricky, dude. Maybe I'll piecemeal it to share for my replacement-of-NaNoWriMo activity.

First of hopefully four Halloween-themed ASMR videos this month! Visuals are okayish but the audio is good – I did literally 33 cuts to trim out anything too-loud and make it as even/smooth as possible.

Thanks to all who provided motivation! I’m recommitted to staying current on this stuff (the least favorite part of my job).

Here's the full thing in case anyone is interested. I posted it as unlisted because I feel like the warbling got worse after editing. I spent a lot of time on this and it's not up to my standards, but at least it was a learning experience. The Gopro is now benched indefinitely.
