Boku no Tsuma wa Hattatsu Shougai - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - Employment

Huh, I get that people have their preferences, but what is it like for married couples to sleep in separate beds?

I wake up 3 hours earlier than my wife, with a silent/vibration alarm, then a "wake up idiot" loud alarm if I fail the first check. I don't want to wake her up every working day when she needs to get her sleep (she needs more than I do). We have a larger bed that's definitively hers, which I sleep in on the weekends when neither of us have alarms. It also helps that I can sleep in any situation, while she's a difficult sleeper and wouldn't be able to sleep in the cheaper bed I have.

It was a realistic solution to a set of circumstances and problems.

Maybe we're seeing it from her perspective, but it's not obvious how you'd tell one store's things from another's.

Can someone explain the symbolism of the cats this chapter? I don't quite follow.

She's... getting better at taking care of them...

It's something rather subtle. Basically, her PDD functions a bit like autistic fixation in the case of the cats. She is able to understand the cats better than her husband and figure out what's wrong with them thanks to the way her brain works. Most people wouldn't be able to figure out her solution to get the depressed cat to eat.

This might just be the next story that'll make me cry fr

Anywhere else, she'd probably be considered a quirky pixie girl. Dealing with this in Japan though.. yikes.

That said, it's still something that can considerably affect your life, as shown in this chapter. I hope she finds a nice balance in a more mom and pop type store.

Also, does anyone know if the mangaka is writing about his wife?

Oh this slaps. I hope this does for ADHD what Asperu Kanojo does for Autism; Show a wide spectrum that represents the quirks, highs, lows, and bigger-picture issues with developmental disorders.

In the States at least, having ADHD in the workplace is a huge liability. Forget whatever "legal protections" you're supposed to have, I've had multiple employers get creative to push unwanted workers out without having to account for disability or provide severance. Interpersonal bullying, cutting hours to part-time, assigning difficult tasks without explaining so you cause a muck up, or simply blaming me for something outside of my control have all led to my "quitting" jobs.

The legal mechanisms to report work violations are close to impossible to complete when you have ADHD. Form after form, long phone calls, tracking details, remembering to reapply periodically... It's like herding cats.

I resonate with this series, it's easy to try to do what you're told but it's hard to improvise. It's like new job jitters but they don't go away. Exposure to different situations and a patient teacher is nice... I wonder what her relationship with her family is like?
Speaking of clothes, I wonder how she developed her own sense of style? Objectivity is an issue, and I do have to remind myself how flattering it would like on my person, if I saw someone else on the streets with such clothes, etc.

The person who had talked about the workplace issues reminded me of the issues that I faced trying to get paperwork and other administrative tasks done with my college. While they do have a department that helps people with disabilities get services, it's extremely difficult to get help beyond applying for classes and planning. The only thing you really get is preferential registration for classes and some services. Anything related to administrative tasks is up to the individual. Makes it really annoying to schedule around and easily gives me a pain in the rear to work around.

I really, really hope this gets more chapters. I have been looking forward to this getting an update to the point where I check back at least once.. sometimes twice a month just in case I missed it.

Still worried that the Raw link doesn't work.. but, I can hope!

That petty store, I hope it closed because it went under from their lazy employees and manager

God I want more...

Wait, "Completed"?! Why?

 

[BuyVelomobiles]

Wait, "Completed"?! Why?

You're new. "Completed" means the series is over, not that all the chapters are here.

Oh, not all the chapters are here? I see. I hope that someone translates more of them. I really like this series.

I am about to spam negative review for that store. How dare they fire our innocent Chika!!
