Passed the year's Open University with a "Grade 3". (Very Shit) Have booked a GP appointment, I aim to get signposted to an ADHD guy.

My arm hurts, two of my teeth are fucked up, my meds make me a zombie in the mornings, I keep getting dragged for being late when I'm going as fast as I can, I just have to make it in to work under sedation from the next county! ... and I'm fucking up at school. It's also become glaringly apparent that I have ADHD and always have done. I have a week off though. Going to get me some doctor and dentist appointments and try and get back on track.

Liked for sweet possum being ok. Unliked for losing a tailtip. Requesting ambivalent react. Glad possum is good

TBH I'm probably just going to trade off and pair him with someone who also doesn't try... I'm committed to leaving the damn company by Oct anyway so the transition should be done sooner rather than later. Worst thing is I think he's a good laugh and we have a time, sometimes, and if I leave the company I'll probably trade numbers and we'll go out for calzones now and then or some shit. Right now his being basically an OK guy just makes thing shittier, because he doesn't know how f*cked he is if he doesn't bucko up. ?

IDK wtf is going on with him, he basically wants the cat to stop shitting in his garden. Even with a fuckin flood of humane suggestions dude is convinced Lillies are the way to go, like he wants revenge on a cat or something. Tried to argue for clemency for this cat with arguments like "it's a fucking cat, dude." and "It might be some kid's cat." No dice. The dude I look after, I swear to God, I have bled trying to get him to engage with something, giving him info and directions to (IRL) forums for others with his condition, LGBT specific forums for others with his condition, taken him to hobbyist cafes and repeated the walking route he would need to take to get there Over, and Over, and Over again so he very definitely knows how to get there (He hasn't gone since), Taken him to a credit union to sort him an acct (which fell through), got him a damn job (didn't attend), found him var. workshops for making stuff (declared interest) and had him photograph the dates of workshops (didn't attend), related to him that there would be a large social with free food specifically for people with his condition (didn't attend) had Swift Playgrounds installed on the ipads so that he might l2code (noped out) signed him up to codeacademy (noped out) provided him with books and articles related to declared wants like being better at socializing, and nutrition (Tldr) Wanting to twist his head off is an exaggeration, but I definitely, at this point, spend an awful lot of my day thinking things like; "Hey if I'd have gotten hired by McDonalds instead of this Charity when I was a kid, I'd be a franchisee by now."

Today I walked for nearly six continuous hours as the guy I look after went into various stores trying to make a 25 pence saving on a canned drink. He was convinced that 85 pence was too much to pay, and that he had seen it at a different store for 60. So we went to five. different. fucking. stores looking for dat elite 25 pence saving... Then I took him into one of the maker spaces in town and said "Look; if you go to one of THESE places you can learn a craft. They will let you play with tools and you can learn something." He said he would think about it, then we spent 3 more hours shuffling around for no reason. The whole time we discussed his repetoire of about five different topics of conversation. We walked past two museums, a library, and three galleries. I lost my vape pen in a field. Sat down for a moment and that shit rolled out of my pocket. He spent a lot of the day trying to think of an insulting nickname for me. One day I am going to twist his head off. After work I went to the pub and read 2 chapters of True Grit and had 2 beers. Yesterday my best friend since childhood told me he intended to poison a cat. He is planting lillies with intent. I told him to buy a super soaker, an ultrasonic scarer, one of those sculptures with marbles for eyes that scare cats away. That he could plant lavender. That he could push toothpicks into the earth so the ground is unpleasant to stand on He said no. He's planting lilies in the hope that the cat dies.
