Why is it so stressful not being able to do anything?

My new job peeps are hella impressed at how organized and tidy I am, which concerns me bc they probably think I’m a type-a person which I am DECIDEDLY NOT.
Tbh the only reason I am as neat and organized as I am is BECAUSE I have ADHD and I know the only way to make sure I keep on top of those things my executive functioning disorder self fails at is to make sure I’m hyper organized and don’t get bogged down by clutter. This “orderly and organized” is not my default state – this is hard-won battle experience.
I was worried about being late to my first day (FIRST DAY) at my new job because I did Amy expect my car to be frosted over. So I hurry up to the door two minutes after 9pm all stressed, discover it’s locked, check my email, and realize she told me to be here at 9:30. Ha. Well, at least I read it that way and not the other way, so I can be impressively early instead.
Slipped and fell at work today (not on ice, surprisingly enough, considering we had a high of 20F today). I’m okay but I bruised my knee and now I’m learning the hard way just how frequently I end up kneeling at work. A lot. Too much.
I’ve resorted to crouching, but it isn’t the same.
My signed resignation letter is in my managers’ offices! They’re not in today so I’ll have to wait to tell them in person but wanted to get it in today so my last day would be the 30th.
This is probably the happiest I’ve been at work in ages.
Had my interview today. I think it went well, although I know I nervously babbled at times, so hopefully I didn’t look like a complete idiot. >_<
Wish me luck in pretending I don’t want this job as much as I really do and that I won’t be obsessively keeping track how long it’s been since I haven’t heard from them. *sigh*
Someone tipped me $20 for, and I quote, “being so nice and talking to us!”
Which is… my job… but bless these sweet angels. I will spend it foolishly in honor of you.
Work has instituted an “employee fun board” to improve morale, they write down notices and also “fun trivia” where we can win snacks if we guess the answer correctly.
I am a misanthropic soul whose morale can only be improved with a pay raise, so I’ve ignored the “fun board” because, well, I don’t care (and I’m not in kindergarten).
But as I was walking past the “fun board” with another coworker, who proudly told me he guessed one of the questions correctly, I glanced at it, saw something about Tudor and foot warmer, and without thinking, answered “King Charles Spaniel.”
My historical dates were off (Charles came after the Tudor period) but my memory of historical portraits served me well, because I was correct and astonished my coworker who thought I’d cheated and looked it up earlier.
Who says a humanities degree is pointless? It’s at least worth a free snack!
Someone is not a morning kitty.
I only skim comments when I see them pop up in my email in order to make sure everyone is playing nice and not spoiling anything, but this suddenly brightened up my awful day:
thank you for your recaps of dramas that are not those wildly popular fangirl sort
Thank you, random DB user, for noticing my love of the underrated and overlooked.
