Subject: Do you have A.A.A.D.D?
They have finally found a diagnosis for my condition. Hooray!!
I have recently been diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. Age Activated Attention
Deficit Disorder.
This is how it goes: I decide to wash the car; I start toward the garage and
notice the mail on the table.
OK, I'm going to wash the car. But first I'm going to go through the mail.
I lay the car keys down on the desk, discard the junk mail and I notice the
trashcan is full.
OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk and take the trashcan out, but since
I'm going to be near the mailbox anyway, I'll pay these few bills first.
Now, where is my checkbook? Oops, there's only one check left. My extra
checks are in my desk.
Oh, there's the coke I was drinking. I'm going to look for those checks.
But first I need to put my coke further away from the computer, oh maybe
I'll pop it into the fridge to keep it cold for a while.
I head towards the kitchen and my flowers catch my eye, they need some
water.
I set the coke on the counter and ooh oh! There are my glasses. I was
looking for them all morning! I'd better put them away first.
I fill a container with water and head for the flower pots - - Aaaaaagh!
Someone left the TV remote in the kitchen. We'll never think to look in the
kitchen tonight when we want to watch television so I'd better put it back
in the family room where it belongs.
I splash some water into the pots and onto the floor, I throw the remote
onto a soft cushion on the sofa and I head back down the hall trying to
figure out what it was I was going to do?
End of Day: The car isn't washed, the bills are unpaid, the coke is sitting
on the kitchen counter, the flowers are half watered, the checkbook still
only has one check in it and I can't seem to find my car keys! When I try to
figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because I KNOW I WAS
BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!!
I realize this is a serious condition and I'll get help, BUT FIRST I think
I'll check my e-mail...
