Don’t choke on your Ritalin when I say this, but I love to work with people who have ADD. Or, maybe I can’t stand working with people that don’t, the bores. Either way, I made a startling discovery today: I have deep respect for those that can run laps (and rabbit trails) around the others.
After a meeting this morning (with someone whom I had assumed to be more OCD than ADD), I exclaimed to a colleague, “[Blank] is VERY smart!” I loved the fact that we were carrying on multiple conversations with as many digressions as a schizophrenic on a speed date.
Gone are the days of lonely pill popping and single track thoughts. I am talking on the phone, IM’ing, writing this damn blog post, which is something that I should probably be doing more, but I am juggling more balls than the Emperors Club at the moment. Er, stay on track. I love to be pushed and pulled by data from all sides. I love to see things from all sides and run rabbit trails of tangential thought.
Attention advantaged of the world unite and shake the chains of bondage…
I think you are confusing bi-polarism with ADD… Me=BP, LG=ADD…Which one are you really more alike?
The good news is that either way, life is good.
Hmmm… That scares me and makes me a little uncomfortable.
Speaking of Kevin Kline–that movie Sophie’s Choice rocked!
You will get a kick out of this. Maybe my ADD is what has enabled me to form SBS. I never could simply concentrate on the internet. There was too much in the business world going on around me that my brain was collecting. In time, I was able to wrap my brain around it, being at the same time I was able to make it happen. Let’s grab lunch or a brew soon.
Go figure…
