I’m an environmental scientist in applied research. Started as a technologist where I was handed experiments to plan and execute. Every project meant learning/creating at least new work flows, processes, instrumentation in different environments (lab, field work, greenhouse). I often had to learn new but related areas of expertise. CONSTANT troubleshooting and creative problem solving. All that chaos and stimulation was perfect for a brain that needs lots of novelty, pressure, and stimulation. Any time I started to get bored with the work I was doing, something completely different came up.

My employer sent me to grad school so I can lead some of research we do. I’m now figuring out how to make this work with my ADHD.

Usually 1m by hand but I was on a project this summer where we were stopping at 3.2m

That Russian peat sampler and 780cm sounds like you were being punished for something.

Hand augering to 3m is my field season strength training.

I thought me or my phone was going crazy when I noticed this.

It's from Mark 7:18-20

18 And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?”[a] (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.

He's only getting by because we don't consider space aliens hiding among us as likely or possible. This guy is obviously from space. Maybe the future?

Why would I wear shorts over my pants? I'm not Superman.

Wrist locks. Especially when they are being lazy with their grips. I have one when people grab my lapel with a weak grip and there was a good 2 weeks where I would tap most people right when they engage during a roll. Technically legal but dirty, totally unfair, and taking the fun out of a good roll.

Maybe I should bring it back....

I'll upvote this but I don't like it.

Amazing, thank you! It's now my main app.

The development on these have so fast it's hard to keep up.

 

We were staying at a group campsite in Writing On Stone Provincial Park and an intense thunderstorm came over. These 3 trees were hit with a lightning strike. Loud. Bright. But no fire.
