I got an interview delayed because of the US government shutdown. There seems to be a funding cliff at the end of the month, so maybe they’ll actually shut down those scientific databases this time. This situation is just dumb and pointless.
Yesterday’s prompt was [inferno](https://www.deviantart.com/tereyaglikedi/art/Inktober-2025-Day-25-Inferno-1256631138). Thanks to u/Nirocalden for the help! I had a bit of an inking mishap, and was done way too late, but it was worth it. Today I’ll draw something simpler.
If you’re eating alone at home, where do you eat? At your dining table, in front of the TV, in bed? Do you just eat, or do something else?
Oh, the hassle I have with the parking system here.
I have autism and receive support at home. The ppl change and they have registered my parking situation in the system of the organization. Every time a new person arrives, they park in the wrong spot though and walk up to my appartement. As soon as they arrive at my front door, I ask them where they have parked and need to correct them. Then they need to go back change it and return. This takes 20 min out of my time of an hour I need for support at home.
By that time I am so overstimulated by the situation, I need 10 min to calm down, so I am only left with 30 min. And the supporters do not get me and think I overreact. :/ In 30 min you almost cannot do the tasks I need to get done.
I start thinking about stopping, as it only cost money and nerves.
Oh well, i just needed to went a bit. Don’t get me wrong, I am generally happy with all the help I can get.
