I live 5 minutes from work and I am still unreasonably pissed about that. I'm a school bus driver, we have morning and afternoon runs with about four hours in between, so I have twice as much commuting as a normal job. Some of my coworkers live as much as an hour away and they just sit in their cars between 9 and 1 looking at their phones, so I really shouldn't be complaining.

    Thank God I work from home. I just get into that first meeting three minutes late and half the others are too. I'm the only one who looks unshowered though.

    > show up to work late

    > Rinse and repeat

    If I have more than 4 comment replies in the morning I get overwhelmed and just sit there and stare at them. They slowly get more numerous. The other day I looked and there were 60. This legit almost made me panic. I'm a grown woman with real stress to be worried about and still with this bullshit.

    It's 8:22 right now. My kid just got on the bus to school. I went inside to get my bag to go to work. And now I'm sitting in my chair thinking this exact same thing. Shit.

    This is even more poignant if you work from home.

    Not that I speak from experience.

    Ok, I speak from experience.

    Need to develop an unhealthy amount of aniexty about being late, then that first frame would be panic rushing out of the house because on time is late.

    Yup. I often show up to appointments awkwardly early because I'm just sitting, staring at my phone, waiting to leave, then realize I could do the exact same thing at my destination, minus the anxiety of watching the clock, so I leave.

    I’m the complete opposite, I’m pacing around waiting for the time to leave

    In my experience, that's a coping strategy to make sure I don't do the thing in the comic.

    Supposed to be in at work at 8, brain starts pacing in worry at around 11pm the night before. "If I don't fall asleep I won't wake up on time". 3:00, "ugh I don't have enough hours to sleep well but if I don't fall asleep now I'll never get up!". 5:00 "shit it might be better I just start up!). 6:30, "God I'm exhausted let me close my eyes for 30 minutes..."

    I for some reason did this in my late teens, was fine from about 22-33 and now suddenly in my mid to late 30s (37) its back and feel stressed as ever about it

    If work wanted me to turn up on time they'd pay me more.

    I can definitely identify with the "I'd rather be anywhere but there" feeling lately. That might not be an ADHD meme.

    I know the feeling. I'm looking at routes to get to work, and I have spent too much time planning, and got to work late.
