Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder
An email i recieved from a friend!!!
>>recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention
Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests itself:
I decide to wash the car. As I start toward to the garage, I notice
there's mail on the kitchen table. I decide to go through the mail
before I wash the car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the
junk
mail in the trash can, and notice that the trash can's full. So, I
decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash.
But
then I think, since I'll be near the mailbox when I take out the
trash,
I might as well pay the bills first.
I take my checkbook off the table, and see there's only one check
left.
My extra checks are on the desk in the bedroom. So I go to the desk
I'd been drinking. I'll look for my
checks,
but first I need to push the Coke aside so I don't accidentally
knock it over. Because the Coke is getting warm, I decide to put it in the
refrigerator. As I head toward the kitchen, a vase of flowers on
the counter catches my eye---they need to be watered. I set the Coke
down on the counter, and discover the reading glasses I've been searching
for all morning. I decide I'd better put them back on my desk, but first I'll water
the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a
container
with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it by
the
computer. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, we'll be
looking for the remote, but nobody'll remember where it is. So I
decide
to put it back where it belongs, after I water the flowers.
I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the
floor.
So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and
wipe up
the spill. Then I head down the hall, trying to remember what I was
planning to do.
At the end of the day; the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid,
there's a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers
aren't
watered, there's still only one check in my checkbook, I can't find
the
remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did
with
the car keys.
Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm
really
baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really
tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help
for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.
ANYONE ELSE EVER EEL LIKE THERE DAY IS LIKE THIS its a serious disorder i think i have it
