  • To say or not to say (that is the question)

    So, I had a couple of situations at work today that I didn’t know how to handle. I guess that’s quite a lot, considering I’m just a cleaner, working on my own and only 3 hours per day, but yet, they happened. The first situation was just after I mopped kitchen and a little dining…

  • I’m incredibly sad

    My zucchini muffind look like black pudding and that wasn’t mentioned in the recipe. Recipie was from American website so maybe people in US don’t know what black pudding looks like or possibly their version looks different to Polish which is brown with grey ‘eyes’ made of buckwheat. So that’s how my muffins look like:…

  • Dear neighbours

    The beauty of living in a village in Poland is, that you have neighbours. Well, obviously, people who live almost anywhere in the world, also in the cities, have neighbours but Polish village neighbours seem to know everything about each other. My Smardzewice neighbours still have impact on my life even though I moved thousands…

  • Feeling pressured and ways to relax

    Good few weeks ago I was referred to an employment support service by my psychiatric nurse and I now feel pressured by my consultant. I did tell her I would want to change career and now I feel like she wants that more than me. I don’t know, possibly she’s trying to be energetic to…

  • Things change all the time

    It’s been good couple of days since I last posted. It’s not like me to take a few days off from blogging, but then, I am a beginner blogger and my habits may change, especially after I state everything about my life history (you know, all the Home Group stuff and such) but this time…

  • What I know about workplace politics

    First of all I want to avoid the term office politics – after hearing it multiple times, we, autistics could assume that as long as we don’t work in an office we will be free from that. Believe me, care homes can be full of workplace politics too. So, in a comment under my last…

  • Exhausted

    I wonder how long resting after two warehouse shifts can take. I didn’t work yesterday so I thought I’d be ok today but I think I’m even more tired. I wonder what that actually is: dyspraxia, that can apparently cause fatigue, peri menopause or maybe I suffer some kind of mild chronic fatigue syndrome? I…

  • I’m not good at making friends (and a little warehouse adventure)

    It is said that autistic people are not good at making and keeping friends and this definitely applies to me too. I currently have two friends: The Friend who is Polish but I met her in the UK over 10 years ago, but who went back to Poland in the meantime, and another lady, also…

  • Warehouse job – I want to feel like a part of a system

    First of all, I need to say, the warehouse job is much easier than housekeeping in a hotel and it pays more, but somehow I don’t like it too much. I think the main problem for me is that I don’t feel like a part of a bigger system: the warehouse processes returns of online…

  • Who would you call an excellent communicator?

    I did mention here a while ago that I had the impression that me and the manager of mum’s care home are not going to get along very well. I didn’t want to give any details as I revealed which care home it was, but then, it will take ages before people will start reading…
