@RikerGoogling You know how many regulations that violates to use official Starfleet subspace relays just to vpn your shows across several extra sectors and back??

@gairdeachas @ibwatson Now that you've said more about what's stressful for you, you don't need teasing, you need coaching! Those of us who grew up with it have a script for these interactions. Whereas you don't. It sounds like getting that sort of a script would be super helpful so it's no longer a bunch of stressful questions and trying to figure it out!

As I've been trying to cook and clean tonight, I keep stopping and staring off into space. Things clicked this evening on a work problem I'd been struggling with. Give the mind time to wander, and voila! And I'm enjoying thinking through how I want to proceed!

The problem, though, is that because of the data and statistics I'm working with, I'm staring off into logarithmic space. <shudder>

A family told their child today that they were proud of them. I was three corridors away and felt it like sunlight. That's all. That's everything. That's what it means to love someone correctly. #LwaxanaTroi #ProudFamilies #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I’ve been trying, even in the face of ridiculous adversity, to stop complaining.

How am I doing this?

When I see something I love, writing/word I agree with, see creativity in action — I tell the person responsible for that act of love & joy … and that I see them.

“I love that!” Or “Yes! All of this!” could really turn a person’s day around. Think about that when you step out in this less than perfect world today.

*phew!* The name was the same, but fortunately there was nothing about the nightmare-study that's anything like the real one.

I've never had the classic anxiety nightmares about exams or such. But last night I woke from a nightmare where I was launching a big new scientific study -- and last-minute realized a massive, fatal flaw in the experimental design. Like "oh shit, stop the presses, what the fuck was I ever thinking??"

The worst part? Lying awake at 3am, heart pounding, frantically reviewing the nightmare b/c I'm worried it might be a real problem. It claimed to be about the study I'm launching next month!
