Except for the affect, this is 100% me in the workplace. I’ve never seen myself so accurately represented:
Unlike this woman, I thrive on this shit. Moreover, I can’t work any other way.
I’m not saying any of this as a recommendation. Neural pathways are what they are. But I am definitely happy nobody is filming me as I work because they’d have vertigo within minutes.
This way of being is neither good not bad if it works for you (which for the woman in the video it clearly doesn’t).

I’m homosexual (non-practicing, for those who are curious) and even I wouldn’t tolerate so much drama, to the point that I can’t imagine how that must feel if I were a healthy heterosexual male.
I agree with Clarissa: it’s fine if it works for you, BUT ONLY as long as nobody else has to bear the brunt of it.
Here we have partner, children and a dog who seem to be collateral damage of her craziness – or incontinent neuroticism for those who prefer the clinical term. Why do THEY have to suffer?

Excellent point. I engage in this pastime in the privacy of my office at work. Nobody else has to suffer. Plus, I’m not complaining. I love the way it works for me.

“her craziness – or incontinent neuroticism”
The video here is obviously staged but she doesn’t seem that bad, she’s not screaming or throwing things and she clearly has a sense of humor about the situation — mostly she just seems disorganized and not good at prioritizing (don’t clean the front room until the kids are out of it, wash the pan without the dishwasher) and “make” laundry detergent? It doesn’t look like Little House on the Prairie or am I missing something? The husband offering to get bacon was sweet.
I’ve been in that “I have to do X but first Y, no first W but I can’t do that unless I do Z first but I can’t do Z because I have do X first” situation but it doesn’t usually last long and often ends with me deciding half of the things don’t need to be done after all…

She is probably into one of those all-natural whole-house three-ingredient cleaning schemes, where she orders a few gallons of concentrated cleaning solvents in the mail, has a whole collection of custom decanters into which she measures them in varying amounts and then adds however much water the instructions on the bottle call for, to get all the various… dish soap, laundry soap, window cleaner, bathroom sanitizer, floor cleaner, etc. It’s a thing. If she’s that disorganized, she should really just buy three gallons of laundry detergent at a time.
I’m nearly as disorganized: I cope by stocking up when there’s a sale, and keeping a tremendous backlog (it’s shelf stable!). On the very back of the shelf, there is a tiny bottle of detergent. On the rare occasions I reach this bottle, it is time to go buy more detergent but I’ve got a week to do it.

Well, of course it’s all playacting, but it’s still insufferable – and very American and silly and teenagerly. It’s “look at me, look at me! My life is terrible, I can’t stand it anymore!”. Why has no one ever slugged her a good one across the cheek, I’d like to know, and what a pity no one ever did.

Nah, give her a big hug, she needs to know that her man remains a solid rock ;-D
