ADDers Lazy? | ADHD Information

Bet your hubby doesn't...

Not big on macs meself - but that's just me. Used to own a company that built and serviced PCs - not IBMs mind you they suck doubly now.  But generic PCs custom built.  I build my own every couple years - and am always happy as I get what I want.  Isn't that keen?

Duvet sounds great.  I still am waiting for when they make a disposable bed - where I just pop open the little bag and whoosh out it comes.  Then I use it and abuse it a while then fold it up and trash it.  Ah paradise!!

As for lazy - nah!  When I was severely ADHD I worked a hundred times harder than any average joe trying to get out of work!! They say it takes way more energy to avoid things than to confront them.  On that premise I was a friggin' dynamo!

Now I am FAR from lazy!  Since I've been on meds I work like a possessed man at work!  I now can handle 1.6 machines (that's calculated by the speed they run) full-time and 2 machines for about an hour.  The machines take potato chips, run them down into a tube and cut a bag.  These bags come down and it's my job to keep them going into boxes (hand packed).  They come down averaging 18 per minute large and 36 small.  You've all eated from bags I've packed in most of north america - so you know a bit of what they look like.  I can keep packing, maintain the machine so they keep sending chips, feeding boxes to my coworkers behind me and in front (not easy really) and making sure the whole thing hums along.  I pack thousands of bags a day - and hundreds and hundreds of pounds of potato product.

 Lazy? I think NOT!! I even got an award at work for "going above and beyond the call of duty" (yes they said that LOL).  A nice letter and a 25 dollar gift certificate to a pizza joint.  MMM it was nice!!

I don't think any of us can be lazy!  Too much to do - too little time!

Duvets reduce the complexity of making a bed, as it is a single cover instead of the combination of two sheets, blankets, and quilts or other bed covers, which is traditional in many parts of the world. Beds equipped with duvets are usually covered first with a flat or fitted bed sheet and then afterwards with a covered duvet. The cover is called a "duvet cover".

HEY! I LIKE them. Send me some.

Beam them up, Pilgrim...

Frankly, I think ADHDers work harder than anyone else just to get satisfactory results. If a non-ADDer worked as hard as we do, they would be considered wonderkind and much sought after!

We just appear to be lazy because when we work, we accomplish a lot and no one sees us since we tend to do best without distractions. We work in fits and starts, as our ADD moments and hyperfocus allow.

   p.s. I'm lazily eating my raisin oatmeal cookies,
listening to radioio JAZZ {itunes}.i like them too.
