I thought it would be fun to post news stories with people who sound like they may have ADD/ADHD. I'll start:[quote] Florida university discovers misplaced 5,000Old checks, cash scattered throughout office

TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- Three University of South Florida officials were fired after the school discovered 5,000 in misplaced checks and cash scattered throughout an office.
Nearly half the money at the school's English Language Institute -- 3,647 -- was in checks up to 10 years old and could not be deposited, said university spokeswoman Michelle Carlyon.
The cash and checks were found December 21 inside desks and underneath books and office machines, among other places, Carlyon said.
The discovery came about a month after a state audit of the university found lax financial controls.
The three officials were fired last week.
On Friday, the financial council reviewing the state audit recommended reducing the number of departments that collect money and training workers to keep better financial records.

IRS sends 24,000 copies of wrong booklet Associated PressCHIMACUM, Wash. - Brian Lawson, a self-employed market analyst, and his wife Jackie got both more and less than they expected when they ordered an Internal Revenue Service instruction booklet by telephone.
What the Lawsons wanted was a single copy of the Form 1040 instructions for 2003 to help fix them a numerical error on their returns that has resulted in them having to pay 0 a month in back taxes since they filed their return for that year.
What they got on Wednesday evening, three weeks after their call, was a UPS Inc. delivery of 12 boxes containing 2,000 copies each - 24,000 booklets in all - of the Form 1040 instructions for 2005.
The wrong booklets were sent from Bloomington, Ill., and arrived at the right place despite being addressed to Chimacum, D.C., instead of Chimacum, Wash.
"We're hoping they'll be more understanding of our error since they made this big error," Lawson told the Peninsula Daily News of Port Angeles on Thursday.
He said he was unable to get the IRS to return his calls, and the newspaper also was unable to get a return call from the agency's media relations office in Seattle.
Lawson did get one call about the booklets, though.
About 4:30 p.m. Thursday, a UPS employee called to say another 12 boxes addressed to him and containing 24,000 more booklets had just arrived at a warehouse.
Lawson told her not to bother delivering them.
He said he and his wife had learned one lesson from the episode: "We should have had someone else do our taxes."
