Paperwork jobs and a brain that fights paperwork

The Capital Region offers steady desk work with good benefits, and a lot of people take it for exactly those reasons and then spend years quietly drowning in it. The reports are late, the email backlog is a source of dread, the performance review mentions follow-through again, and the energy it takes to look organized leaves nothing for home. Many adults here were diagnosed late or never, and have spent a career believing they are lazy or careless. The job security that keeps people in the Capital Region also keeps them in roles that do not suit how they think. Add a long upstate winter, a commute up the Northway and a partner who is tired of being the one who remembers everything, and the shame compounds.
