It snowed! I wish it didn't.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

I started a free programming course today. I'm trying to keep myself occupied during slow work days and focus on something useful. Maybe this time I'll actually finish it! We shall see.

The CEO of my company knows I exist now, and has spontaneously dropped an important project in my lap. As much as I love recognition and an opportunity to show off, this kind of attention from someone with this much power over me is kind of crushing.

I feel that. I want more money I just don't want them to notice me.
