Again, so far, so good. Now the question is to medicate or not for the weekend. I think I will for now while my body adjusts to the meds. Maybe I can work on getting my house clean and organized... I'm glad this week has been calm at work, too.
Anyone put there reading this - what are your favorite tools to use to help everyday life?
Now I worry about my daughter and what she will inherit from me (and her father), genetically - will she have his diabetes? will she have my ADD? Only time will tell.
The more I learn about this - disease, affliction, condition (not sure of the right word), the more I have to laugh about myself and the more I understand my idiosyncrasies. Not that everything can be blamed on ADD, but it is as much a part of me as my brown hair. One of my major issues at my last job (which I left for a better position) was that I talked to everyone in cubeland too much - I was a distraction... Of course, the employer didn't really handle it well and never told me it was an issue until I questioned my pay rate. Another issue was that my cube was in a constant state of disaster. Some idiot actually left me an anonymous note one day (which infuriated me) about how embarassing my messy cube was. I did talk to my boss & the partners and they had no issue with my cube's state because they knew what work I had going on.
Speaking of workload, when I did ask for a pay increase, one of the partners said he couldn't believe the amount of work I accomplished while working part time. I think this success had to do with the pace of the work. Trust me, I still had deadline issues, just managed to work thru them because I had to give my work to someone else to draft and I did not want to screw over that person.
Come to think of it, I think at least one of the partners at my last firm is ADD (possibly 2) and my current VP is... All VERY intelligent men with attention and deadline issues who have made things work for them.
