Lack of progress report | ADHD Information

Well.  I've been out of work for several months now.  Here's my report: I am never bored.  I have a million things that fill my day, some of them soul-satisfying endeavors, and truly, it is wonderful to not be imprisoned in a cubicle.  But the job thing -- yikes.  I don't seem to be finding one, and I need to, before the sh*t hits the fan.  My work history might be looking a tad spotty.  I hoped that I would discover my right livelihood while collecting unemployment -- a better way to live and earn money, too.  That hasn't happened.  I find myself looking for a cubicle much like the one I was dismissed from.  And I haven't found it yet.  Damn.  Woe is me.  You know, if I were a millionaire, I would just be a person of many interests and it would be fine.  The ADHD thing is a problem that impacts my ability to earn a living -- ok, a few other things too, but mostly that.  I think it's because I can't really buy in to the work thing.  Even when I have a "good" job, something in me says no f**king way, instead of embracing the world of work and my "career."  I will land on my feet somehow, if past experience accurately predicts the future, but I am starting to panic.  Thanks for listening.

I sure understand the panic! I had a heck of a time finding a job when my company closed down. I used up all my unemployment and then dipped into my savings and ended up taking a crappy paying & boring job. But it puts food on the table barely but gosh it is soooo boring.

I hope you have better luck than I did and find something you may enjoy. But if worse comes to worse take that cubicle job but keep looking for another job. There may be something out there that may inspire you....you just never know. I wish you lots of luck Wordwoman. Nice seeing you again online.

buy lots of lottery tickets!!!!!!

i agree - there's nothing wrong with being ADD it's just the world that
makes it a problem. whoever came up with this idea of HAVING to earn a
living????? madness.

i wish a billionaire to stray into your path shortly and be so overwhelmed
by your charm that s/he gives you a million just for no reason other than
he/she wants to! otherwise good luck in finding a living --- what about
gardening? i always thought that must be a nice way to make a living too.
