I swear I've got A.D.D

Recommended Posts

I swear that I've got a bad case of adult "A"ttention "D"eficient "D"isorder.

Skydiving has been a blessing and a curse to this camper and part of the curse has hurt my professional career (I'm a 20 year software development person). I'm sitting here knowing that I need to buckle down and try and upgrade some of my knowledge of some software development skills that could possibly help me land a job (assuming these potential employers aren't playing the age discrimination game). So I start reading this technical information and the next thing you know my brain is losing interest and I'm off to check my email and/or DZ.COM (which is evil) instead of concentrating on the work at hand.

I know I'm not alone here, otherwise you good people who are at work wouldn't be on here. But knowing that I'm not alone doesn't help things. I'm getting hungry. Time to watch the afternoon news, make some lunch and then I'll get back into my studying. Until it's time to check my email and of course DZ.COM.

I'm fucked ... :S

Welcome to my world over the past few months. I gave myself 3 months to fuck around, then the last 3 months I was supposed to be on full time soul searching/job searching. Um yeah, that didn't work so well; I found a good job almost in spite of myself.

It's truly remarkable how much time I was able to waste and how "full" my day became despite not having a job. Ah, but next week I go to five straight days of training... the reality of being back in the working world will bitch-slap me then. :S

I haven't earned any income since April of 2005, I spent a shit load of money jumping this summer (my fault, no one elses) and while I still have some savings, this move of mine back to Canada was ultra expensive and I've got some nasty credit card debts which don't make my savings look as large as they originally appeared to be.

Time to look for work ... no wait I'm watching the afternoon news ... no wait I'm getting hungry. But no I've got to check my email and DZ.COM first. :S

Yup, except for the "moving to Canada" part, that's about the same for me. Last day of gainful employment was April 29th. Fortunately, starting up again next week.

Just because your mind wonders does not mean you have ADD! There are many more characteristics to the disorder than that. Many people do that when they just don't want to do something they have to do.

You're sooo not alone - except I don't spend as much time on dz.com (at this moment - yes):D as I used to - now I do all kinds of stuff I probably shouldn't at work - but I've gotta keep myself busy when I'm not busy, ya know - or try and make myself appear busy:ph34r:

steve, if you had ADD, you would have all the symptoms that make me, well... me... lol....

you wouldnt want to think that now would ya?



You are unique!!!

Oh my new JVX is due in very very soon. But the WX here kind of sucks this time of year. Plus I won't be able to jump it if I don't get back to upgrading my skills and finding a job (I really shouldn't have ordered it now as it didn't help my current debt levels). But it's too late.

Oh the TV is now turned off. Can I turn off DZ.COM ... soon ...
