CanuckInUSA 0 #1 November 29, 2005 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 ...

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.
