Grrr | ADHD Information

Am I the only one who has mornings like this?

First there was the struggle through the havy traffic on snow-covered roads.  Why do people have to drive so damned slowly when I'm late for work?

Arriving at the office I find the coffee machine isn't working - it's displaying the message 'low water' (I work for a water company fer chrissakes!  How can it have no water?). 

When my computer finally finishes booting up I get a message telling me an update has been installed, and I need to reboot it.  When that's done I find an email from someone in another office, the tone of which makes me grind my teeth and refrain from replying (I'd get fired if I wrote what's going through my mind).

I have an important Health and Safety document to read, but there is some kind of remote process going on in my computer, the hard drive's rattling away and everything's going really slowly.  I tear out the network connection and hurl it across the room. Others look up from their desks and I am having to bite my tongue to prevent an 'inappropriate' remark.

There's a bouncy, enthusiastic young lad who's just walked into the office - he's so cheerful and pleasant I just want to wring his freakin' neck.  How dare the little snot be so cheerful.

I can't read this document, I just can't.  I'm looking at it waiting for all the important information to leap out of the page and into my brain, but it won't.  I can feel my blood pressure rising.  I hate everyone in this office, if I had a gun with me I'd make the news today.  Better still a if I had a chainsaw.  Or a Tank.

I thought perhaps writing this would calm me down.  I guess I thought wrong.

Aww, poor baby. So that's why you're not on line!

Actually my morning isn't off to a good start either. Well, misery loves company.

I was supposed to be somehwere 10 minutes ago and I haven't finished my coffee (at least I have some) haven't put in my teeth yet haven't scraped the ice off my little truck, and have had only one cigarette.

Hope you day gets better, MarkYou are not alone.... one of the guys in my department is off today, so of course I'm getting loaded with all his crap work. Somebody was in here less than 5 minutes ago giving me some stupid horrible job that normally would have went to the other guy, and I would rather go outside and clean up the bird sh*t on the dock than do it. I felt my own blood pressure rising while he was explaining the task to me.  Of course, being such an apathetic, laid back person, I don't get why everything has to be a panic. If something I don't care about is conidered a "panic" then I want to do it even less.

To boot, I went to get a coffee of my own and found that no one (as usual) has re-stocked the cream. I don't use sugar, but dammit I need my cream. So if I want a coffee, I have to go downstairs, get the key to the coffee cupboard, get the cream, give the key back to the receptionist, and lug the stuff back upstairs. Sounds like more work than a cup of that swill is worth.

I so need a new job. I'm not doing myself, or the company, any favours by staying here. *sigh* Story of my life.

THESE PEOPLE DRIVE ME NUTS!!!!
This morning I looked outside and noted how hard it was raining, then immediately jumped into my car in the garage and drove off without my coat.  On the way to work, wondering how I was going to get from the parking lot to my office without getting soaked, I realized that my cell phone was in my raincoat pocket, at home.  Walked into a meeting looking like a drowned rat.  I am supposed to stop on the way home from work to pick up dinner because we had to go out, but I realized that my wallet was in the coat pocket at home too.  I can't call home to ask my husband to fix some dinner because I don't have my cell phone, and I don't know his phone number because I always use the autodial so I keep it written down....in my wallet which is at home  I thought I had a bad day, you guys win!  Awful to think that someone who doesn't get a raise, has a "bouncy lad" and no coffee, and someone who forgets her raincoat, can make you all win this prestigious award.  Just kidding, I hope tomorrow is better for you all, look on the bright side, it really couldn't get any worse.  Good God, now I fear tomorrow!
