What was supposed to be a small stealth project, has blown up into a full scale project and now I get to go meet a bunch of people today.

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.

It's just a bunch of 2 year olds saddled with the responsibility of saving the world.

Had a job interview. Went okay, but I despise the feeling of being so dependend on a steady income that I need to bend over backwards to please the bosses (slight exaggeration but you get the point)

I have to go get a tooth crown legthened or whatever the spelling is and I'm fucking dreading it.

They cut off some gum and grind down some bone and I'm just. Scared.

Hello there was no pain but hearing needles against bone scraping is bad sounds! Very Bad sound!

I'm going to sleep now after taking my amoxicillin and chunky ibuprofen.

It's worked out so far

The tooth might have had a cavity under the gumline, so this might have all been in vain and it'll get pulled anyway

But I won't know until I see my primary dentist and they look and see.

I hate my primary dentist.

I empathize. I'm terrified of dentistry.
