How comforting to know AAADD is a worldwide disorder -- I thought it was
peculiar to my house.

> These are the symptoms:
>
> - You decide to wash the car. You walk to the car but see the mail on the
> table. Okay, you are going to wash the car but decide to have a look at your
> mail first. You put your keys on the table, sort the ad folders out of the
> mail and note that the trash bin is full.
> So, you drop the mail, including some bills, on the table and put the trash
> bin outside. Or no, better pay the bills first. Where is the check book?
> Oops, only one check left. Where is the new check book - it should be in the
> cupboard upstairs. Ah.... there is you glass with Coke you were looking for
> earlier. But before searching for the new check book you decide to put the
> Coke glass further away from the keyboard - image you hit the glass and
> spoil Coke all over the keyboard. Ah - best idea is to put the glass in the
> fridge. That way it stays cool. You move to the kitchen and note that the
> plants on the windowsill look terrible - they are in urgent need of some
> water. You put the Coke glass on the sink and hurray - there are your
> sunglasses! You had been looking for them all morning. You put the glasses
> aside before you forget them again, pick up a small can, fill it with water
> and depart for the plants. Aaaaargh! Someone left the sender for the TV in
> the kitchen! If we want to watch TV tonight no-one will remember he or she
> left it in the kitchen, so you better put this one in the living room. You
> go back to the plants, pour some water, throw the sender on a pillow in your
> chair and return to the central hall. What the heck were you going to do
> there?
>
> At the end of the day your car is still dirty, the bills have not been paid,
> your Coke is still on the sink, the plants didn't get sufficient water, you
> still have one check and you can't find your car keys any more.......
>
> You try to find out why nothing was done today. You don't understand,
> because you've been busy all day. You then start to realize that you have a
> serious problem and that you are in urgent need of professional help, but
> decide to check your e-mails first.....
>
> And then you read this message, and you sigh with relief. It has a name:
> A.A.A.D.D.!
