Bored | ADHD Information

Bored.

 

I’m alone in the office today, everyone else has been invited to meetings and I’ve not (it’s OK, I sleep through them anyway).

 

I’ve got plenty of work to do, but it’s dull and awful work, so I probably won’t do it.  I’ve been looking out of the window, but that’s dull too – a typical murky, grey February day. 

 

I’ve been practising my John Cleese funny walks, and I’m getting quite good at them.

 

Sigh.  I can’t go out for a walk because I’ve forgotten my security card and may not be allowed back in.

 

Drums fingers

 

I’ve got no change for the coffee machine either.

 

God I’m bored.  I hate work.

 

Nobody loves me.  It was my birthday yesterday and even my wife forgot.

 

Maybe I should try and do some work, as there are none of the usual distractions about – yet strangely, I’m finding it even harder than usual to get started.

 

Sorry, I guess I’m rambling, huh? 

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MARK!!!!!!

Your job sounds frighteningly similar to mine - dull and awful! I've been with this company for 3 years (my previous record was 9 months), and I am just ITCHIN to get outta here. Some days (okay, almost everyday), I feel like I am going to crack up.

I wish I had some advice for you..... if I did I'd be able to help myslef too...
Happy Birthday!!! By the way, the thought of you pacing your office practicing John Cleese walks gave me quite the chuckle! I needed that!

I was just thinking about this very same subject (boredom) today.  There are days that I get up and even with plenty to do, like getting my resume in order, studying, whathaveyou, I am not interested in doing any of it.  If it isn't boredom for us then what the hell is it?    Plus - when you know responsibilities are staring you in the face why can't I bring myself to get on with it?  I know that I will feel 100% better after their done.  It improves one's self-esteem and feelings of accomplishment.  This aspect of ADHD, to me, is where I draw the line between *normal* and us.  Normal people just do it, while it seems we procrastinate until it becomes a detriment to our daily lives.  I know exactly what you're feeling.  Wish I had an answer for you.

BTW- a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ya!      Congratulations...

Peace -
