Odd Behaviour Criticized

Post Reply New Topic

I don't think anyone who shuns the artifice that surrounds us for a few moments in favor of appreciating nature can possibly be a failed experiment!

You are doing what humanity has done since we evolved. Capitalism, certain religions and subcultures...all strive to disconnect people from nature. My guess is to intentionally leave them feeling like they are missing something, a substitute for which will gladly be provided...for a price. Also, you have every bit as much a right to enjoy the view as anyone else; it's not like you are standing there staring at the children, which might be construed as a bit creepy by some. But in my opinion, it is the control freak giving you trouble who is the, "failed experiment". Such behavior is in fact antisocial.

Criticizing an aspie for being weird is like criticizing a midget for being short.

Thank you. You are right. It's early innings yet.


I think you are right about this. Out of all of them and there must be 20 or so, she was the only one to react this way.


This is going to be my new strategy:
The other cleaners wear mp3 headphones, which we are allowed to do while working if we only use one earpiece. So I have bought an mp3 player. The last time I had such a device was in the '80s - it was a sony walkman. Anyone remember those? They played cassettes, because cds hadn't been invented yet.
Anyway the sound quality on this mp3 is amazing.
I am going to disappear into my own world.
My co-workers are all sullen and non-talking, maybe they have had similar experiences.


It really is. I won't fall for it.


Yes, break things down and it becomes clearer.

Do you follow the Blue Jays at all?

Not in years. I just watch highlights.

Thy might get in the World Series this years.

Who is their likely opponent?

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the St Louis Cardinals. But who knows

The Jays are playing mighty fine baseball these days.

I saw them in the skydome in the '80s. Do they still play there? At the time it was pretty fancy.

They play in the Rogers Centre--which I believe is what they call the Skydome now.

This means you probably remember people like Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar.

Yup, I do.

Also, and I don't know about the OP, but if the details of your life aren't normal (i.e. spouse or significant other, friends, long history of the former, etc.) then the more they know the worse it will get.

Well, I believe a detente has been reached between me and the teachers. I am smoking in the appropriate area and they seem to appreciate my cleaning efforts. I had my 3 month review today and got 9 meets expectations and 3 exceeds expectations. And good comments. My co-worker showed up today, if only briefly and is not fired as I thought he might be. He is having some sort of health crisis. But I would prefer not cleaning the entire building myself. So I hope this is sorted one way or the other soon.
I successfully used one of the skills I learned in CBT today. Asking for help. I realized there was no way I cover all the areas that needed to be done in the time allotted, so I told my boss and she called in an extra hand for a bit, which was good.
But worrying if I'm going to be on my own every morning stresses me out. My entire schedule changes one way or the other depending.

You did excellent, Ann!

Congratulations!

Three months? My, how time flies!
