I think I have this but I definitely know it's not age activated! :!:
Anyone recognize these sysmptoms?
They have finally found a diagnosis for this condition, known as A.A.A.D.D. Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it goes: I decide to wash the car; I start toward the garage and notice the mail on the table.
OK, I'm going to wash the car. But first I'm going to go through the mail.
I lay the car keys down on the desk, discard the junk mail and I notice the
trash can is full.
OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk and take the trash can out, but since I'm going to be near the mailbox anyway, I'll pay these few bills first. Now, where is my chequebook?
There's only one cheque left! My extra checks are in my desk. Oh,
there's the coke I was drinking.
I'm going to look for those cheques. But first I need to put my coke
further away from the computer, or maybe I'll pop it into the fridge to
keep it cold for a while. I head towards the kitchen and my flowers catch
my eye, they need some water. I set the coke on the counter and there are my glasses. I was looking for them all morning! I'd better put them away first.
I fill a container with water and head for the flowerpots.
Someone left the TV remote in the kitchen. I will never think to look in
the kitchen tonight when I want to watch television, so I'd better put it
back in the family room where it belongs.
I splash some Water into the pots and onto the floor, I throw the remote
onto a soft cushion on the sofa and I head back down the hall trying to
figure out what it was I was going to do?
End of Day: The car isn't washed, the bills are unpaid, the coke is sitting
on the kitchen counter, the flowers are half watered, the chequebook still
only has one cheque in it and I can't seem to find my car keys! When I try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!
