August Creative Contemplations
I feel like I start every month in review with things that were hard. Anxiety kicked my butt for parts of August as I got to be “reviewed” at my day job over my physical needs. It has always been a negative experience that is poorly managed and going through it makes me a worse employee because they cause me so much anxiety. And it wasn’t “unjustified” anxiety. It was a load of bullshit, including leading questions like “you must be highly distressed by not having a prognosis”. AND I didn’t even reply with FUCK YOU. So there, I am professional.
August Creative Contemplations
Reading: Finished WarCross. Started & finished Wildcard (both by Marie Lu). Am part way through How Not To Write a Novel (by Howard Mittlemark & Sandra Newman). Very funny instructional book so far.
Gaming: Due to being stuck at home partially during a lockdown and car problems, I started a full re-play-through of Alien Isolation for the billionth time. Apparently replaying games are a comfort thing to me, like rewatching tv shows.
Watching: New season of Brooklyn 99. Which I accidentally typed as 00 when I wasn’t paying attention to my keyboard.
Creating: Future business plans. A friend is moving into some coaching and working with me to get back to more working for myself. I fear being an employee (even though I like my job) is becoming unsustainable with my need for basic workplace accommodations so I’m working on an exit strategy. But I’m also sad as the people I currently work with are some of my favourites ever. But they have no say over my accommodation requirements and I’m a puddle of useless emotions over all of this.
Writing: Business-ey stuff. Plans. Service pages. Outlines of things to look into. Nothing super creative.
