Look at it this way, in a small town people are more likely to be kind and offer higher quality information when asked. The same things can be said about lemmy.
Please see my edit on the original post.
Thank you for letting me know about that, please see my edit to the original post.
Bunch of people in Hollywood getting really nervous right now.
La-A, it's pronounced La-Dash-A
My mom taught nursing and La-A was one of her students, she said her mother had her at 15 after dropping out of highschool her freshman year and wanted a unique name for her.
Edit Ok wow, I did not know that there was a racist aspect about this name. Sorry I didn't go into more detail originally. She was real, and from what little interaction I had with her she was a very nice and down to earth woman, who put herself through nursing school. I met her at the pinning ceremony because I always ran the audio for it to help my mom out. I didn't get to spend any meaningful time talking to her, but I heard her name called out when it was her turn on stage to get her pin and saw her come up and receive her nursing pin.
Again I had no idea about the racist aspect of this name, if I had I would have either given more detail upfront or just not posted. I've met a handful of people with interesting sounding and spelled names and didn't think anything about it when originally posting. I apologize if anyone felt I was being offensive.

I actually recently checked out elevenlabs, the free tier seemed so limited it didn't seem like it would work, maybe I'll have to check them out again and dig a little deeper. Thanks for the suggestion.
Yeah I lucked out with him for sure. The guy he replaced was good, but still operated with an old school corporate mindset.
I got lucky with my diagnosis, my doctor also had ADHD and even though I still had to do the testing to be sure he basically diagnosed me on our first visit. He was also able to teach me how to manage my impulses and channel the energy into projects I can get passionate about. If you are right on the edge I'd seek a second opinion, I'm not knocking the previous doctor but a different one might pick up on something that would put you over the threshold.
If nothing else research coping strategies on your own. Check out this ADHD life, I connected with him years ago through comedy podcast we both listened to and he's got some great resources.

Text to speech is a good idea but it would have to be natural sounding, I find the typical ones are robotic sounding and distracting, for me at least.
Yeah he's a good guy, we actually graduated together but were just casual acquaintances at that time. A few years back I was covering a holiday and it was just the two of us, nothing going on so we sat at my desk and started talking about highschool, after a while we got to talking about what we saw as the future of the department (he had just been promoted to head the department) and we found out we shared a bunch of ideas. He's never said anything but I wouldn't be surprised if he's had to slow roll my promotion because of the highschool ties.
LoL, two words I would not use to describe myself, hot and dad. Though I admit at this point in my life it is difficult to find someone who doesn't have children. Yeah I know I'm gameable, that's probably something that subconsciously is holding me back. I know that when I fall for someone, I fall hard. It's not "thinking with the wrong head" it's thinking "don't screw this up because you'll be alone forever". Maybe now that I'm comfortable being alone I can be a bit more relaxed in a relationship.

Yeah it's weird, you would think it would distract you but it doesn't. On the music thing, I've found that classical music helps me focus but other types don't. To be specific piano and violin music seems to work best for me. But that's really only when I'm writing, when I'm working on a problem podcasts, audiobooks, and music I've heard a million times already work just fine, new music will distract me though, it has to be stuff I already know.

So I just got done reading up on this book and ordered a copy. Thanks, I might also grab the audiobook since I sometimes have problems focusing on reading, and listening to a book is the only way I can finish it.
Funnily enough the boss is extremely open to new ideas and recognizes that I'm ready to move on. He's already told me that he's petitioning for extra budget now that we have surplus money company wide so that he can move me and two others up into low level management in project management roles. As he said the project management title will be fluid since each of you will be doing wildly different things based on your strengths.
I'm down for it since the majority of the things he says he wants to assign me are things I want to do. Sure there's a few things I'm not crazy about, but they aren't anywhere near deal breakers.
Well for me it's the twist-tie until I get down to the last few slices then I just spin the bag and fold it back over itself.
Why the twist-tie wasn't listed is beyond me since I've never seen a store that didn't have them as the majority of closure mechanisms.
Also, bottle hack? I honestly have no idea what that's about.

And here I am 30 years after my diagnosis and have never been on meds. I did do 2 to 3 years of neurofeedback training though.

I have written several proposals for my employer based on this kind of thinking. We have some kind of issue, I push it to the back of my mind, weeks later the issue still exists and I'm listening to a totally unrelated podcast and something the host or guest says triggers a series of seemingly unrelated thoughts and suddenly I have a solution to the issue.
My department head once asked me how I come up with these solutions, I smiled and said I have ADHD and listen to podcasts. He just looked at me with a blank stare then said that doesn't make sense. I just laughed a little and said, I know but it's hard to explain how things connect in my mind, the podcasts just help me brainstorm. He just smiled, shook his head, and said well what ever works I guess.
There's a large hill and at the bottom of that hill is a cliff, we've been sliding down that hill since Regan and this past January we finally reached the cliffs edge.

Yeah, I googled "I've been waiting for this moment, Phil Collins" and multiple results showed up with the same answer. Should have opened up the lyrics and actually read them.....
There were 5 that were toxic, the first one was a casual friend I ended up getting close with and started dating before we ever had sex. The next two were casual hookup partners that evolved into relationships, the fourth was actually a friend I had had since highschool and only started dating 15 years after graduation, and the fifth and final one was again a casual hookup that turned serious.
I admit as I wrote that out I saw the issue. In defense of the fourth one, she had some issues with her childhood, and the father of her children was .... let's just say not helping. We've reconnected after some time and are still friends, but agreed dating was a bad idea.
