What with seasons being culturally determined labels for observed patterns.06 Sep 2026 09:02 +0000at://did:plc:dttdm744doqippaqxt2c7h2e/app.bsky.feed.post/3mutn2o5zt32fhttps://bsky.app/profile/alisso.bsky.social/post/3mutiaern2k2fTomorrow is going to be a long day, and I am not looking forward to it. Got to get up early so I can get across to my psych to get my new script from him. Then I get to go directly to the office, cause I'm training people, and my boss prefers us to train face to face.06 Sep 2026 07:35 +0000at://did:plc:dttdm744doqippaqxt2c7h2e/app.bsky.feed.post/3mutiaern2k2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/alisso.bsky.social/post/3muqu3pkjkk2vFor the first time in quite some time, I've had lunch on a weekend day. Normally I sleep in a bit, eat breakfast late, and then suddenly it's too late for lunch but too early for dinner, so I end up snacking instead. Today, because I was up and at my desk, I just, got up and had lunch.05 Sep 2026 06:29 +0000at://did:plc:dttdm744doqippaqxt2c7h2e/app.bsky.feed.post/3muqu3pkjkk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/alisso.bsky.social/post/3muqfum5yhw2pMy aunt had to quit working for the tax office when she got married. Because they made her, not because she wanted to, or because her plans for married life made it necessary. She was essentially fired by the government for getting married.

The seat cushion being new has solved the butt issue, and the supportive back and the way it moves with me make the whole thing very comfortable. The issue now is my desk. It's a roll-top desk that barely fits my peripherals.05 Sep 2026 02:05 +0000at://did:plc:dttdm744doqippaqxt2c7h2e/app.bsky.feed.post/3muqfcd5nos2phttps://bsky.app/profile/alisso.bsky.social/post/3munzsymzit2jMy old desk chair is sitting in the hall till the weekend, when I'll have time and space to carry it up the stairs and outside till we can organise a hard rubbish collection, and oooh, it's difficult to resist the temptation to make it into a clothes rack/item storage...04 Sep 2026 03:34 +0000at://did:plc:dttdm744doqippaqxt2c7h2e/app.bsky.feed.post/3munzsymzit2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/alisso.bsky.social/post/3munygzgprk2jLol, I just introduced a coworker to the classic "I have adhd and/or am bisexual and I cannot sit normally in a chair" seat, and I think she's about to go order one 😂 Apparently she's a cross-legged chair sitter.04 Sep 2026 03:09 +0000at://did:plc:dttdm744doqippaqxt2c7h2e/app.bsky.feed.post/3munygzgprk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/alisso.bsky.social/post/3munttewhc22jPro-tip for anyone working in IT support. If you remote in to someone's computer and you have to close and reopen their outlook, and it says, "you had items open when Outlook closed, do you want to reopen?" - ALWAYS CLICK YES.

The other night it was Tim Minchin singing "It's Not Perfect" on the Australian Story 30 Year celebration. Tonight, it's Poe's The Raven, as recited in the voice of Carl from Dungeon Crawler Carl, with Donut the cat as the raven. #grief03 Sep 2026 12:47 +0000at://did:plc:dttdm744doqippaqxt2c7h2e/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumibw7ql22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/alisso.bsky.social/post/3muldbdvkb42yNew chair arrived! Box was MASSIVE, but the delivery guy got it up the drive, up the stairs, and into the front hall for me, and I was able to assemble it there and bring it downstairs. I'm already thoroughly enjoying the way it moves with me and maintains support the whole time.03 Sep 2026 01:45 +0000at://did:plc:dttdm744doqippaqxt2c7h2e/app.bsky.feed.post/3muldbdvkb42yhttps://bsky.app/profile/alisso.bsky.social/post/3mul6tf7pa42yMessaged my boss about my throat and explained I'll be here and working, just not really able to take calls, and let me tell you, my defensive adhd ass is never prepared for a boss who is straight up "are you sure you're okay?

As in, tomorrow! Not sure what time, but I'm wfh and have no actual meetings booked, only a study window, so hopefully I'll have plenty of time to sign for it and get it set up as soon as it arrives.02 Sep 2026 13:01 +0000at://did:plc:dttdm744doqippaqxt2c7h2e/app.bsky.feed.post/3mujykzmkzk26https://bsky.app/profile/alisso.bsky.social/post/3mujxrcfdms26Spent three hours training people today, which means I spent three hours talking, which means my throat hurts. I don't usually talk that much in a day. Also, for some reason the air in the room was SO DRY that my eyes intermittently wept all day DESPITE wearing glasses and having used dry eye spray.02 Sep 2026 12:47 +0000at://did:plc:dttdm744doqippaqxt2c7h2e/app.bsky.feed.post/3mujxrcfdms26https://bsky.app/profile/alisso.bsky.social/post/3mujvkon5fc26These two actors have performed together, actually!

I get up more often from here. Literally the only difference is that it's easier to get up from an office chair than bed. But it's working.
