Being autistic and random stuff

[PMarky2]

Small talk is a huge waste of effort, and seems to involve a lot of encounters with NT stupidity.

I often have lunch with a friend at meetings so that we can sit there, the two NDs, in companionable silence unless one of us has a question or observation of substance to make. I have been suffering from NT overload recently, so I scheduled this week as being kind of free from 'peopling' responsibilities. What pushed me to take the break was that I was due a colonoscopy Tuesday and did not know I would react to the anesthesia. I did fine and was in-and-out of outpatient surgery in 2 hours.

The one public engagement I could not skip this week was an event to push a friend's book, but that is the only time I have had to deal with strange NT's this week. It wasn't too bad, and a glass of porter eased the remaining pain nicely.

Pleased to hear your procedure was brief.
Thanks for your support x

SO relatable

Our neighbours bought chickens including a cockerel that constantly crows. It's one of those sounds like nails on a chalkboard that can't be ignored. I'm too shy to say anything like - "Can I eat your cockerel because I hate it" and so I resorted to a sound track of the sea on a shore, as a white noise at my desk. It's surprisingly good at hiding the squawks, not intrusive and I can play YTs over the top without a problem.
So apart from being stressed in my own damned garden, that's a win.
I don't like to sound mean, but maybe the fox will get it.

Years ago, next door but one had chickens and the inevitable cockerel. Every Saturday and Sunday, the bedroom window next door would go up, and the man of the house would bawl "Will you f*****g shut up!" This went on for several months until the cockerel mysteriously disappeared - probably as cock-a-leeky soup...

Happy day today. BAF and I reconnected.
