It is 14F/-10C outside right now. I am doing everything I can, to not go outside today.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

    The last few days I’ve made sure to keep my time on social media limited and replaced some of it with Dual N-back, Duolingo and Kinnu. Allready less brainfog, better concentration and more mental energy.

    Let’s see if I can keep it up.

    Just going to vent into the void

    I have a coworker (peer, different trade) who constantly disagrees with me about things but it’s really clear he doesn’t understand what I am saying so he’s disagreeing with his inaccurate interpretation. It’s exhausting. I spend so much time pushing back on things I shouldn’t have to.

    It’s 50/50 if I am communicating poorly or he doesn’t have the technical background to understand. He does not need to know these things! That’s why I have my job and he has his! If it’s something that needs to be put into practice I will walk him through it and get his buy in. He could just ask for clarification rather than sending me long emails telling me he won’t do what I’m asking (I wasn’t asking??? Or telling!!!)

    As an example, something is happening outside of the normal parameters it can be expected to happen at. I write a report and mention it, and I say “x standard calculation may not be applicable to this system” and he reads it as me saying his staff has to take extra measurements 😭😭😭

    Firstly, those measurements wouldn’t solve the problem and where did I say that?
