I can relate so much. I’ve had both happen several times. I’m currently back to the plan of minimum effort but it’s hard.

Whenever I’ve gotten a fun hobby I just think about it all the time and it becomes so hard to focus on my job and even harder to force myself to do the same boring shit every day. Can’t wait to get home too finally do something fun and interesting with my life.

This was way too hard to read because of color, background, sentence structure and awkward line breaks. I’m not sure whether to admire or hate this.

Real life clipping.

Been there. Not my proudest moment. But not shameful either. 6/10. Had a lot worse breakfasts.

Trade secret.

The sequel to Groundhog Day nobody ever wanted.

For me it was life changing good advice. But it depends on the individual I guess.

I’ve experienced toxic workplace environments towards men in fields dominated by women. It happens both ways.

Arschlecken Feuerwerk. Ich hab nur nich getroffen.

My guess. They couldn’t get the printer to work. My 3D printer has a lower problem count than my ink jet regular printed at this point.

And this is M. Bison

That’s a thing? Like relaxing? I don’t think I have experienced that.

Oh for sure. It can be tough to zoom out and see what is going on and what you are doing while in the midst of things. I struggle with this all the time. The advice I gave is what I do when I do it right. Doesn’t mean I get it right all that often. But I’m getting better and I keep practicing.

I will usually just acknowledge it without giving an explanation. People will almost always accept that. Examples.

Oh I think I just got carried away there. Let’s take a step back. Do you have any questions?

Hey I think I got a bit too excited about the project for a sec. I hope that wasn’t too much.

It’s usually fine and takes the awkwardness out of the situation if there was any. And it shows people you realized what was going on. That’s usually all they need to hear. No apology and no justifications or explanations needed. I found those would often just make it worse rather than better. Just be brief and move on. The longer you stay in the topic of an awkward situation the more it will stay awkward.

I go through a ton of hypothetical conversations like that in my head. So far I was always able to discern between real and made up though as far as I can tell.

Dad of a very active daughter here. I know the feeling exactly.

Two things helped me and her mom immensely.

For the keeping our of trouble part it is such much better to set up a safe enclosed environment for her to explore safely rather than running after her. We made the living room child safe.

The other thing is I changed to prepping everything for my morning routine in the evening. For the same reason you described. It only gets worse when they don't sleep through the night so I was very happy I did.

Every RPG character after looting the boss.

Great way to introduce kids to gambling and death early in their lives.

Wait, I died?
