I’ve seen so many posts about how hard it is to get work as an autistic person which honestly just makes me wonder if a big part of my success in my current job can be chalked up to the fact that underwriting as a profession just scratches a lot of autistic itches
You work at a desk. Your job is to review files. There are rules you use to evaluate those files. Those rules are spelled out clearly and plainly in a manual which has been provided for your reference. There are clear, logical explanations for all of them which are available if you’re curious.
If you are unsure how to apply a rule, you can ask your supervisor. They applaud you for asking questions because that means you’re thinking critically about the files you’re reviewing rather than just making a quick guess that could be incorrect. The more obsessively determined you are to find the Correct Answer for any given file, the more you are applauded.
99% of your work is done solo and you can listen to music or podcasts while you’re doing it.
Your obsessive nature and refusal to let go of small details has been rewarded with a promotion. Remember all those files we told you not to worry about because you didn’t have the authority for them? We’ve got new rules that allow you to handle those. Keep up the good work and you’ll be a manager by the time you’re 30
I really enjoyed the technical aspect of processing mortgages for exactly this reason. I could just put my headphones in and do my work.
I still think one of the funnier aspects of the spones dynamic is that McCoy is the sometimes the only person Spock will actually acknowledge that he has emotions with BUT it’s only to make McCoy feel bad.
Remember that the right person will never get tired of you even in the worst times
No, they will! But they’ll work through it, or walk away for a bit (i’m talking minutes to hours) and then come back.
People can love you and still need to get away from you for a bit. And there is nothing toxic about that — it’s good, in fact. It helps remind everyone involved that everyone has boundaries, and everyone needs time to themselves.
It’s okay. Calm down before you talk about something that made you angry while your loved one is sick. Be sure of what made you mad so you can discuss it together.
Love isn’t a one-way street, and it’s something that takes work. Part of that work is knowing when you need to step away.
Just fyi for everyone the new strain DOES have the capability to do breakthrough infections (meaning if you’ve had your shots or COVID within the last two or three months you can get it again - only 2 confirmed cases in the US as of this morning though), no we don’t know if the new vaccine coming in September will be protective enough, and yes a lot of our overarching medical bodies are letting us doctors know that those who are elderly and/or are immunocompromised should be wearing a mask.
If you have had COVID at any point - congratulations, you are immunocompromised! You are a high-risk individual if you have had COVID.
You should be wearing a mask. You should be considering how to reduce your risk. There are many tools and strategies we did not have in 2020.
And for clarity’s sake - all strains have had breakthrough potential. The new strains are largely unrecognizable to your body’s immune system, so breakthrough potential is much, much higher.
COVID does increasing amounts of damage every time you get it, and many “healthy people” become seriously disabled after their third infection.
The state does not care anymore (if you live in the US). Please take care of yourselves as best you can.
The violinist is Alexander Rybak, a Belorussian violinist whose family defected from the USSR to Norway. One of the songs he’s mashing up is his own “Fairytale”, Norway’s entry that won the 2009 Eurovision.
The other song, which is the one playing on the amp, is “Stefania” by the Kalush Orchestra, Ukraine’s entry that won the 2022 Eurovision. The song is about the writer’s own mother, and also about mothers who protect their children from war. Once Russia invaded, the song became a war anthem.
So this isn’t just a gorgeous piece of music. It’s a political piece about unity between people who have been oppressed by the same empire.
