the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the "how was your week" thread isn't a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples' posts aren't getting lost.

tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don't gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this'll be a good way of getting to know all the people you're now on here with

I'm in a weird position at work, where the managing director values neither of the things I do, so doesn't really have any idea what I'm up to. As a result, I could literally spend the entire day fucking about online, and he'd have no idea how it was affecting the outcome of what I do.

I kinda have the same thing. I'm pretty much an inhouse vendor so I'm the only employee in my state. I haven't seen my manager since February and once went almost a whole year without seeing another employee from my company. I pretty much self manage which sucks with having ADHD.

I pretty much self manage which sucks with having ADHD.

I feel every bit of this. Because of my situation, I don't really have anyone that I'm accountable to, beyond them occasionally seeing that I'm running some training courses, or publishing some procedure documents. But given that the MD doesn't have a clue what procedure documents we have anyway, I slip under the radar 99% of the time, even though I work in the office.

So yeah, I spend most of the day fucking about online, feeling ever more shitty and pointless.
