When you talk to people who are intelligent but also disorganised, there can be some guesswork to do. They forget to elaborate and are always talking in implications and unfinished thoughts, expecting the listener to figure out the rest.

Thorwegian ❄️ (thor@berserker.town)'s status on Sunday, 11-Feb-2024 17:49:03 JST Thorwegian ❄️ @Divorytaur "absentminded professor" was what I was picturing and trying to describe, but without being so specific, because it can probably apply more broadly

Faye (divorytaur@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 11-Feb-2024 17:49:07 JST Faye @thor One doesn’t need to be intelligent to present oneself like that. 😅 Although it might take less effort to figure them out and it’s not very rewarding.

Well, there are many factors and I'm thinking loud. The problem is that I don't tell that I am thinking loud. So my coworkers and leaders are a bit annoyed. 😂 I should have been a professor instead of an IT guy -
