It's the little things:
Working in retail is great, because customers LOVE to char and endorse a good job. So, the dopamine hits are always there.

And in testing... oh boy. Do I love the way every day can hit me with a completelly new and unexpected riddle. :blobaww:

@kaia
I don't know. I never had a problem with my job as long as I understood its intrinsic value. I used to sell stuff at parades. It was not a good job, but I knew it made people's day brighter.

I used to sell books in a huge shop. Whenever I helped a customer to find a book, I know I was saving them 10 minutes of suffering, and I might have even found that one perfect gift.

And now, I am testing software. Every bug I find is a headacke many people will never have.

In addition, according to the theory, jobs for ADHD are supposed to be either highly repetitive or high engagement. And you wouldn't guess it 😉, but 90 percent of software testing is highly repetetive, until you find a bug, but it also becomes extremely engaging the moment you have to diagnose it properly. Also,the so called "autistic" attencion to detail is a job requirement, so I cannot think of a better job.

I am so tired of legacy media repeating how damaging the fake news are.

Bitch, I have never seen them report something accurately, so how am I supposed to take them seriously.

I like then games do have their main mechanics made in such a way, that your skill can truly be felt. Dark souls and War thunder does allow for this kind of growth.

Yeah. My problem is purely that although I have seen what government does with their guards, I do NOT want to see what would Google do, if they got the same oportunity.

@urusan I hate to defend the "everyone is special" argument, but when there are 200 different things that one can be exceptional in, and being 1/100 is considered an exception.... it's not that hard be be special.

@xianc78 @matrix
Thanks for an advice, but I don't think that it would solve anything.

@xianc78 @matrix
Let's say it is hard one to evaluate correctly.

Especially considering, how the recent peaceful protestsplayed out...

I am at the point, where I can clearly see the HUGE disadvantages of both options, but don't see an alternative for now.
