Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

  • On one hand, I have adhd and depression, and my parents definitely have at least depression. So I’m used to messes everywhere up to and including not seeing the floor for a week or more at a time.

    On the other hand, I feel bad when someone gets in my car and I have to move one or two items off the seat.



  • On one hand, I have a coworker who clearly angrily scraped his trump stickers off the tailgate, and on the other, I have a coworker who straight up held a nazi salute with an audible “heil” when he started talking about his favorite band, Rammstein.

    Now I don’t know anything about Rammstein and their political views in general, but I’ve known a few Germans in my time and they all held very strong (negative) views on the nazi regime.

    Most coworkers have stopped talking about politics and such in general during breaks though.

    My guess?

    Lit room: lots of things scattered around, colors, visual noise, over stimulating

    Dark room: dark, not very visible, less/no noise, not (necessarily as) overstimulating

    anecdote

    The most relaxed I have ever been was in the middle of a huge snowstorm the wind died down and the flakes were huge, I couldn’t hear anything, it was after sunset so once the flashlight was off it was pitch black, and with my coveralls, hoodie, thick coat, gloves and scarf I was warm and couldn’t really feel much of the outside. I just laid down for about 40ish minutes, occasionally seeing the dim spot of headlights from a passing car. Similar concept, dark and quiet, muted external stimuli.

    You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

    I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

    We are not the same.
