jeanoappleseed<p>Part II<br>What got my <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Rolodex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rolodex</span></a> spinning today was an interruption by my husband. Story of my personal and professional life. </p><p>First thing was my husband interrupting me while I was filling out a section of a 199-question form online for <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AutismDiagnosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AutismDiagnosis</span></a> purposes. Our dog <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FinnTheDachshund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FinnTheDachshund</span></a> was waiting and although I did not stop in my tracks (I finished the comment on the question I was working on), I just left the section opened. I was nearly finished and had provided a ton of information in those forms. </p><p>When I came back &amp; continued filling the form, the stupid system allowed me to finish the section. But when I went to go to the next section, it told me the link had expired. When I got back in, the entire section had been lost. This led to a long rant longwinded email to the psychologist secretary telling her to convey my frustration and complaint to the psychologist. This section had A LOT TO DO with interruptions as well, so doubly-frustrating.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a></p><p>…</p>
jeanoappleseed<p>My mind is like a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Rolodex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rolodex</span></a> spinning out of control, sometimes. And those of you who are old enough to have worked with the Rolodex, the real-thing will now what I mean ie how well it turns and keeps turning. What a great device this was.</p><p>Those of you who are too young to know what a Rolodex is, it was sort of a pre-computer <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Database" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Database</span></a>, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AddressBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AddressBook</span></a>, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Dictionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dictionary</span></a>, a great place to store information when information was on paper only.</p><p>Atm, my mind is racing. I don't know if any of you with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> or <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> can relate; hopefully some of you can.</p><p>I get so overwhelmed sometime that my mind can race for days. I am very prone to interruptions and responsive to people who interrupt me as a way of being accepted, liked when I got on so many others' nerves. It did pay off in a way, but not without causing me major <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a> issues.</p><p>Please bear with me. I will continue in the comments of this message. I don't want this to be too long.

jonny (good kind)<p>I got another <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/GoodWebsite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoodWebsite</span></a> idea. so if you can both read and control a pop-up's position, then it can be a handle - constrained by the thing it is connected to, where you are only allowed to drag it in particular paths. since you can share state between windows on the same domain through localStorage, the windows can be like a little machine that acts out a shared model. </p><p>brb I'm gonna make a <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Rolodex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rolodex</span></a> this is what 3D CSS transforms were made for</p>
