    I’m above 40 but below 45, i am shit at paperwork and composing an email takes half a day. each time I solve an issue the solution and more importantly the process I go through to get to the solution is shared, I don’t want to have to fix things more than twice and it is my job to share knowlege/train the new guys.

    They don’t know that I don’t know shit and every problem is fixed with detailed troubleshooting not ‘knowing’ what the issue is.

    In my office the only issue is admin stuff, time tracking, emails, case updates that sort of time sucking boring nonsense, found a way around, train the new guys, tell em’ contact me if you have problems, so now I fix their stuff and they do the emails/notes :D

    I have to convince mangement I’m doing work every yearly review, so far so good!

    Well, to expand, I had a cough for three weeks, just could not rest, took a break from work Monday, got steroids and a chat with my psych on Tuesday, so on Wednesday after two days of no ritalin/deep rest and a new pr resting heartbeat (I love health gameifaction) I decided to start back easy with half my normal dose of ritalin and my second max dose of steroids 8x5mg (I think)

    It was a lot like that bradley cooper movie, no idea the name, “I can maintain” just got lots done, including dusting off my bike and going for a spin, https://sh.itjust.works/post/20050726

    Anyway the rest of day was fine really, I just kinda lay there until 5 in the morning, getting more annoyed about how I’ve fucked up Thursday just because I couldn’t sleep.

    I am probably just way overdoing the ritalin at 60mg a day, so 30mg+max adult dose of steroids after two days with no ritalin was stilk too much.












  • Started ritalin couple of months back, I (40’sM) noticed very little difference, however my wife really notices the difference’s, to me I just kinda feel like it’s a good day with effort, some times I notice minor things like emails being a little easier. The second guessing myself as it wears off is the biggest pain, I’m on 60mg now and will switch up again soon, can’t wait to move onto something that doesn’t need adjustment every 4~5 weeks. In your case, did you notice anything initially? it did work at some point for you? don’t wait to up the dosage, go ahead talk to the doc if needed and go for it, it’s no problem if it’s too much you can go down again.

    This is totally it.

    I don’t exercise I put the three kids in a truck tyre and drag them to school. (MUSH Daddy!)

    I don’t exercise I walk to shop for milk, get home, realise I forgot the damn bread, think I can make bread, look up how, get distracted, make healthly wraps for lunch.

    I don’t exercise, I just lose the thing I just put down, queue marathon of reorganization (it’s not cleaning) until I get the point of lifting heavy machinery to look under and give up, hammer on a worn 3/8 socket. Bonus cardio if the 10mm was in your other pocket all along.
