Finally got an email I was referred for the Fed role my home girl told me about. I was referred for another, but it's a GS12, this one is a 13. I'm going to keep applying to shyt of course, but the things I've been seeing, I don't really want to do according to the job descriptions. I had an interview this morning, but the company had horrible reviews with a couple comment about racism. That's all I needed to see, plus I've been a little emotional over the current climate in America, so I wasn't really in the mood to "put on" for an interview.

I was the only Black person in my company for a MINUTE and they knew, don’t ask and okay if I was stressed/wanted a day off, I forgot which precise incident made me ill. But after Beyoncé Super Bowl, Kaep, etc they knew better than to ask my opinion or speak about it in my presence and my then-CEO is an unapologetic Repub, NRA member.

Sometimes you have to not show people how capable you are, lest you risk becoming the MF that has to do absolutely everything. I identified a probable fix my vendor needs to make, low priority in the grand scheme. They're taking a while, probably with good reason, because there are higher priority things that need to be handled, and now internally people want me to make that fix. So now I'm "seeing what I can do", which of course is going to get the job done because I'm fukking good at what I do. If you're going to have me do development on this product, fukk all that bullshyt with the vendor, and pay me what you're paying them. I'm 70% of the way to the fix already. I'm tempted to get it working then come back like
sorry I couldn't do it, code too complicated, let's wait on the vendor fix. With word of massive layoffs within the next 40-50 days, should I even bother trying anymore?
Real shyt. I came into this Data Analyst position at this hospital with a mean chip on my soldier and been going above and beyond from day one. Ain't said no to shyt. But now, I'm getting more and more shyt throw at me. "Oh, you know how to do this? Oh, you're THAT detailed? How about this? Can we train you in something else, yanno, just in case we need you?"
fukk all dat. Run me my gotdamn money.
No ADHD medicine for me but I dip and dab wit' dem Nootropics quite a bit. I'm on that NuOptimal right now.
Nuoptimal: Nootropic Supplements for Peak Performers
It took me a while to save up to purchase it. I'm more concerned that it'll take me just as long to save up for another voucher, there's one fear. But i've been doing practice tests everyday, and every few days (i'm actually overdue) I'll do one major simulation practice test that provides me a scope of where I'm most weak at. (I got all the lesser weighted domains down)
What exam are you taking? CompTia?
Which NU optimal do you usev
I've bought the MetaBrain pack twice so far. I play around on the times I take each individual formula depending on what I need at the moment. I also got a bottle of Shop Qualia Mind - Neurohacker Collective laying around too but it's hard for me to commit to 7 pills at once.
Yeah Sec+
Okay, that's cool. I've taken the A+ and Project+ so far. Them bytches def ain't cheap. How have you been studying? Have you tried out the pocket prep app?

which of the three do you like the best? and have you noticed a change? leaning towards the metafocus. Id like a proper adder all/vyvanse replacement thats more natural.
That's the one. The MetaFocus is my favorite for sure. I take a couple of those, sometimes 3, and that brain fog is gone and I get a lil more encouraged to lock in til I hit that "flow state" of productivity. MetaDrive is cool but I have a high caffeine tolerance so it doesn't do much for me even though there are some other good things in there. I can't really speak to MetaMemory cuz I haven't done any official tests on myself to see how it holds, lol, but it helped me retain info from a class I failed 3 times originally so there's that

Have you tried lions mane breh? It’s amazing. I have a great source with no bs fillers if you’re interested. A lot of “lions mane” out there is bs and full of fillers.That's the one.

By itself, nah. Included as part of a stack? Yeah, all day. The MetaMemory stack has Lion's Mane in it. And other ones Ive tried (like MindLabPro) have it. I'm always down to try new ish tho.
