Stepping in with a #@#%#$%$ of my own... | ADHD Information

Why do people at work have to be so freakin annoying!!! 

Why does every single day have to involve me receiving comments like "so... how are things? Getting caught up yet? Everything under control?"



JUST LET ME GO AT MY OWN PACE AND LEAVE ME THE FK ALONE!!!! My work gets done, so what's the problem????

I just hate feeling like I'm being checked up on. Is anyone else bothered by these sort of BS comments? Or am I just really overreacting?

BCgirl, I know what you mean. My supervisor is a nice person but she's kind of an anal control freak so I feel like she's babysitting me. It is extremely annoying.
SGG...Actually, I want to know where you got yourkitty from. Mine was sent to me in an email from a friend.    It's also about how I feel today.   

Yeah, bcgirl...talking w/someone,like us! This is always a good place to vent. Or, at lunch time, you can always PM me.    Good morning, hon. Awww, I know, it's a pain!    Are these co-workers, or people 'above' you, like supervisors, etc.?

Perhaps you can laugh, and make some comment like "As good as ever!" and laugh with them (if they're laughing at you).

Or if it's co-workers and you don't mind being a little rude    , how about this: Well, if you guys just left me alone, everything would be under control.   But I like the first one better. Laugh, don't let it get to you. (I know, easier said than done. I've been there, too)BCGirl, you need to calm down and find a place to vent your stress. You need someone to talk to, like a therapist or a good friend. It sounds like you're going through this all alone with nowhere to turn.

I had a micro-manager for a boss for about 4 years.   Drove me absolutely nuts.  Could not understand that I worked at my own pace, my own style.   I left the company finally after battling her kept getting more and more intense.  And get this, despite being on a host of mental health drugs like prozac, she was about as sympathetic to my ADHD as any of our cats.  No wait, less than the cats. 

Now I have a supervisor who believes in a minimal amount of supervision.  It's the only kind of arrangement someone with our disorder should have.

I don't think I need a therapist, just a new job. Everytime I vent to friends, they just tell me to find a new job. This job is NOT AD/HD friendly whatsoever. It's all boring mental tasks, people bugging me about this and that, and nosey coworkers/supervisors. Oh - and I'm glued to a desk for 8 hours a day.

Thanks Gypsy! I agree. There's nothing better than co-miserating with people who know what you are going through!

Amen to that!
glued to a desk 8 hours a day won't work as a general rule.
I work best when I move...........................................gotta go!

I think that is true with most jobs.  Someone is always looking over your shoulder.  I guess over the years I have worked so hard at looking like I am working so hard that I am finally fooling them.  I get my work done but I do stop and chat now and then and email my friends.  I just ignore the tattle tellers (or snoops).  I have one employee who used to walk right up to my computer and look at the screen to see what I was looking at..I threatened to put something shocking on there just to watch his eyes bugg out but so far I have just ignored him.  Talk is he just walks around and farts in everyones office.  Glad that I have a door now and my boss has been pretty good about letting me shut those losers out.  My boss plays solitaire all day and everyone laughs at him so he is always noticed more than I am.  I hope it goes better for you and they don't get on your nerves so bad.  I know it can be a pain when people are so nosey.

 

Oh man! I hear ya! Don't tell me HOW to do my work--just tell me what
you want the final outcome needs to be and STOP PESTERING ME!! I have
had a problem with this ever since I can remember! Luckily I had
supportive parents and was in G/T classes that allowed a bit more
freedom in reaching the goal.

But now I am in a Veterinary Radiology Residency (I'm already a DVM)
program and the advisor is an extreme dorkhead who sticks his nose in
everyones business! We get very little guidance, but we are expected to
do things in a certain way--And that "way" is not explained to us until
months later--arrrgggghhh! It's a very tough time for me as I am very
"excited" about vet radiology, but it seems that euthusiasm is quashed by
the "system"....

So--I hear ya!!

My Strattera dream:

Spend 8 hours a day actually working, rather than PRETENDING to be working. I would feel so much better about myself and use less energy. Gotta go get a job first.
