I have enormous desire for stimulation like it’s unreal I feel like someone is torturing me if something gets way too monotone, way too boring and stuff becomes very way too monotone and boring surprisingly increasingly faster… the older I get the faster I get bored it’s torture FUCKING TORTURE KILL ME KILL ME PLEASE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I used to work as a weather forecaster.
I miss it every day. It was the perfect blend T^T
May I ask what that job entails?
Like the presenter after/before the news or compiling the data for the presenter?It wasn’t for the news, it was mostly for aviation. So I’d compile their take off and landing weather with a brief overview of the flight path weather, any areas of upper level ice or turbulence and the Go/No Go parameters of all of that.
Job also included ground forecasts and watches/warnings for ground personnel. And every week or so there would also be a need for a forecast for a convoy driving out to repair something elsewhere.
Super cool job. I miss it all the time.
Ty :)
Only diagnosed with ADHD (and would likely only barely be on the spectrum for autism) but that’s why I ended up only being able to work in emergency services. Mostly medical (paramedic & 911 operator/ambulance dispatcher) but I’ve also spent a few years in HAZMAT response and disaster relief.
Academia is like this eventually. Or so I am told
But beware, there be dragons, my friend
Try being a handyman, nearly perfect for getting new problems to solve, flexible, the project is usually done the same day if that’s the scope of work you want, or take some bigger things if you want a project for a month.
Honestly pretty rewarding fixing things up, I’ll never not get dopamine when I manage to get something ticking, or make a wall look nice, or whatever it is I’m trying to mend.
I was just about to say that this almost perfectly describes my job as a handyman.
Picky as fuck, sounds familiar.
ICU nursing
My job actually falls within that: Sysadmin at an MSP.
This is how I ended up sticking with stone masonry for like almost 20 years now.
Being a Security Technician has been pretty interesting. New places every day, different puzzles to solve, and mostly 7-3
My job. Chef at a lunch buffet. Different menu every day, but some things are the same every day. Definate rules so you don’t kill people, but creative freedom within that.
Wow, we have totally opposite experiences of AuDHD. Meal planning and cooking are two of the least pleasant times I have in my routine.
And one which doesn’t involve using a phone
Software testing checks all those boxes
so does accounting, oddly enough
I’m struggling to think of any decent professional jobs beyond data entry that don’t tick the boxes
Maybe not if your manager is a cunt but you can get that anywhere
4/4 jobs I had were not ticking both boxes, either not structured enough or boring as hell
Were you unable to structure your days? That’s a bit rough
Yes, there was sprint planning and kanban, even release schedules. But it means nothing when you have multiple managers all expecting deliverables on the same day the issue is found. I had a flight or fight response to teams notifications well over a year after that job.
On the other end, there were weeks and months of literally nothing to do but I had to make it seem as there was a lot to work on and reporting on it daily. Made me suffer more than if there was actual work to do.
Stable, but not boring
You sure?
I’m an auditor, so I come across some interesting stuff
I’d say it depends on your interests.
But generally the kinds of inspecting someone elses work is usually entertaining in the profession you work in.
Documentation management for me, especially end-user-facing KB type stuff. Mmmmm boy do I like making information accessible.
Sadly never really a stable standalone job, mostly just something I take on for fun wherever I work.
I’ve had a few solid options for my audhd ass.
- video game QA testing
- union organizing
- dry lab genetic research
I seem to subconsciously know what to look for, because I’ve only had 1 job where I hated the work. Grocery retail wasn’t bad, but pales in comparison to these. Granted union organizing has a lot of bad surprises, but the ideological bent more than compensates
I think I’d like something that doesn’t make me wanna kill kyself.
