I just can’t help it; sometimes my mind just wanders off when I am supposed to be paying attention. I am off in my own world, having my own conversations in my head.
Example? I am at a conference and I am supposed to be paying attention to the speaker, but here I am off on a tangent. It usually starts innocently enough. Like, gee they pronounced that word funny. Or, I wonder where that door goes; I bet it’s a secret passageway. Luckily the stuff right now does not apply to our system, because I have no idea what is going on. But I know I’m going to be in big trouble soon. The next speaker has a very awesome accent. When she speaks I keep thinking – I wonder if she comes from the same part of Scotland as Sean Connery?
Okay, so as I said many times before I think I have a touch of ADD, but it does make life interesting. At least for me anyway. Maybe not so much for those around me. Ha! I usually rely on a great friend to take notes for me in meetings so I don’t miss any important things I am supposed to do. I’m on my own right now. This could be bad. How much longer until lunch???
So….do you wander? If so, how far? Come on; make me feel a little better would ya?
I am guilty of wandering. I know that’s hard to believe.
It’s usually a word or phrase that set me off.
All the time! I have been this way my entire life… I am sure that I have ADD… However, when I was a kid it didnt have a name, just a rear end beating for not listening to instructions very well.
It’s nice to know I’m not alone. Plus, isn’t it nice to know that now we have a name for this thing and can blame something for it. ha!
I’m sorry, what did you say? I wasn’t listening. lol
I have a major problem with this. then my friends make fun of me b/c I want to be a counselor and their like “how are you gonna be a counselor if you can’t even listen to us”. But then I think, yeah but I’ll be GETTING PAID to listen to my clients when I’m a counselor. maybe that will help me pay attention! LOL
I do have ADD, I have been diagnosed. : ( I have it, forever. but it’s okay, it makes for a great day, especially when you have a cold and you take antibiotics, now that’s fun. : )
