The good news is that my boss is being understanding about the whole “unplanned adjusting of my meds” thing, so that’s a plus
(my pharmacy was out of my meds (even though I put in my refill request 2 weeks prior) and I had to get them almost 48 hours after running out (Monday) so it’s been a rough start to the week)
(Also a friend sent me this meme this morning asking if this basically described how my week was going, once I finished laughing I told him that yes, yes it was)
I feel you friend, my meds ain’t working as well as they should anymore but the closet appointment I can get for adjusting them is still weeks out
One of the “perks” of my job is that is basically pure chaos when you focus on the little details. Big picture you’re just loading and unloading trucks with a forklift, but in the thick of it you’re positioning pallets, identifying what kind of freight it is, confirming the paperwork is done properly, determining position for each type of shipment, balancing the trailers, and on, and on. Not to mention that every single trailer throughout the day is a clearly defined goal that I can see the progress of constantly as I approach finishing the trailer.
That chaos for me helps (as crazy as that sounds) because there’s so many little details to track and check that it’s a constant stream of new details.
The only problems I’m having at work really is getting there on time, taking my breaks on time, and leaving on time. The actually grind I’m doing fine at… mostly… at least not bad enough to draw attention… currently.
I think a big factor for why my boss is understanding is that his son has ADHD and he knows what that like.
Now my personal life on the other hand, that’s a trash fire currently due to the ADHD and the meds needing adjusting.
I haven’t worked in logistics before but I worked with retail. It was mostly manual labor, so ADHD was not a problem at all, but the pay was too low to stay there.
