I have what many would call a bizarre or incorrect way to hold a writing utensil, and after a certain age hit and I was already used to it and found it worked for me, I began getting loads of lowkey criticism from people at school who constantly tried to remark how "incorrect" it was.
ADHD (not a sufferer but it runs in the family). Imagine driving twenty minutes to work when, in the words of Shrek, you can't sit still for five minutes.
Being a mom. I'm not even one yet and simply help a certain family au pair style, and the childcare part is like a balancing act fueled by attentive dedication and no room to screw up badly. I actually help with teaching, and that's easier than getting out of that line of work to spend time with just two of the kids that show up.
Yeah, but there are different kinds of work people might do behind a cubicle.
Say potato.
Driving. Often I doubt humans were biologically meant to drive.
What are the symptoms?
I kind of meant hypothetically though.
My sister says I met David Bowie as a baby. It sounds rather weird, we don't live where he did his stuff. I also don't count it because I'm technically a fan but not in that kind of way. I have nothing more than vague memories. I'm told he had a nice but rather unfocused vibe. In hindsight, it's possible we met a professional imitator and were none the wiser, though one could argue it still counts as some kind of licensing goes into imitation.
Something similar happened with Celine Dion, though in a way where I have seen the real thing, just not up close. Can't really meet someone who has so much security it's like a universal restraining order. I did not dare, but I can tell she has a good vibe.
I met an author I like but who most people probably don't know, the author of A Hero Unmasked. Not sure if it counts if they are obscure to a large degree. Incredibly fun person though, a very human but warm individual. We even talk regularly. It ranks as one of my greatest perks.
I wanted to meet Jason David Frank and had every potential to, but then he committed suicide right as it was going to materialize (do you count visiting a celebrity's grave). I cannot meet Lucy Lawless because I don't live in the same area. And I just fall short of wanting to go out of my way to meet anyone else, even Kevin Sorbo.
I also have visited things like shrines and whatnot related to my spiritual traditions. Not sure if that counts, since the person is a historical figure and you "meeting" them is "symbolic" to an outsider's eyes.
What do you do in a cubicle?
I tried it once. I wasn't a fan.

Just about all my classmates one Spring got mononucleosis. For a while, I was one of a handful of people coming to school.
