- bad review from a parent - wanted to quit - daydreamed about other jobs - felt good - felt bad - started dramatizing prep for upcoming departure (cursing at the web apps and stuff for instance when Megan was there) - helped Libby with language homework and did a good job ("the whole paragraph isn't about [what that sentence says]. Which sentence says what the whole paragraph is about?") - that was inconvenient; spent the next day being aware of playing mind games to try to convince myself I wasn't “meant” to be a teacher and partially “because” of adhd. - felt sick and sat in the car and checked email - Rick said “your reply was professional and not defensive. Keep up the good work” - whole world suddenly shifted back only different - was slightly disappointed that I wasn't off the hook after all; excuse to flee vanished - felt better - thought about that one article that said “adhd people are greatly affected by encouragement, and may work harder for someone else than they do for themselves” (2015)
