the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the “how was your week” thread isn’t a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples’ posts aren’t getting lost.
tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don’t gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this’ll be a good way of getting to know all the people you’re now on here with
Howdo champions!
I’m Darren. He/him. I live right in the middle of the south of England with my wife, where I work in quality and health and safety management.
I have a background in radio, podcasting, and welding, so if you want any tips on those very connected subjects, I’m your man. Music is my main love, but I can’t play a note.
I have ADHD, which is why I’ve been posting on here so much instead of doing what I’m getting paid to do.
I feel that last part, luckily my job only really requires 3 hours of work and the rest is just trying to look busy.
I’m in a weird position at work, where the managing director values neither of the things I do, so doesn’t really have any idea what I’m up to. As a result, I could literally spend the entire day fucking about online, and he’d have no idea how it was affecting the outcome of what I do.
Hello from Canada!
I recently got an adult ADHD diagnosis, so navigating that has been pretty eye opening.
Do you run a podcast? Or more into other aspects of it?
Hello!
I got my diagnosis a few years ago at 39, so yeah, I know exactly where you’re coming from.
I’ve run a few podcasts over the years, but nothing that could be considered a success really. I liked what I did, as did the half dozen or so regular listeners I was able to entice, but by and large my efforts went unnoticed, so I became disheartened and burned out and so gave up.
