I was in the middle of another thought (South Beach and dieting) and then (I think) I made a connection.  The Dr. Barkley that I told you about, whose latest book I have, believes that the lack of self-control leads inattentiveness by the hand.  In other words, because one does not have the ability to control oneself and environment, the ability to drown out the distractions and whatnot  is lessened and causes problems (ADHD).  Well, what if Dr. Brophy (and maybe Mascerenhas) is of the same mindset?  What if he is under the belief that if I gain more control over my mania, I would therefore gain more control of distracting things?  Maybe he does not believe in ADHD as a primary disorder, but instead a secondary one?  Food for thought.

 

However that may be, he still should not make someone wait for an entire week to get a script refilled.  His day can’t be that fucking full.  Hell, he’s doing it all by eFax anyway, how hard can it be?

 

Thanks ….

 

 

 

Leg bounce

My leg is bouncing like crazy again today.  Not really sure of the cause though.  I have not a lot of coffee so far today; I only had one cup all of yesterday.  I have not had a lot of any kind of stimulants that would do it.  And, I am calm about the project that I am currently working on.  A real pain in the ass, cuz the shaking interrupts me.  Constantly.

 

Bummer #2

This software that I have that keeps track of what I do on my work PC has the nasty habit of pointing out that even though I am always busy doing something, I get very little of significance done. That sucks.

Bummer #1

I am just now getting started on work, as in starting in on the assignment at hand. I have been doing other things related to work, but it has still taken me this long to get those minor things cleared. That does bug the hell out of me. A lot.

A greater lack of patience

It seems that I lose patience with people's conversations a lot more than usual.  I want people to get on with what they are trying to say much more.  Probably an S.A.D. Thing or maybe a menopause thing.  Does this mean that i'm getting bitchy in my old age?  Is it related?  I read that our symtoms can increase with age.  Maybe  that's why.

Thinking Inside My Head vs. Thinking Out Loud

I’ve noticed that I am able to think inside my head (i.e. not talk to myself) great in the car on the way in to work. When that happens, I use my turn signals and do everything else that I’m supposed to be doing. Shortly after I get to work, probably as more people start to arrive and noise picks up, I switch to what I refer to as ‘thinking out loud’. So, is it the noise of people talking around me that causes me to do that, trying to clearly hear my own thoughts? Or is it that when I’m alone I find the idea of my voice breaking the silence disturbing so I think inside my head? Inquiring minds want to know ….

This is a test to see if I can update both Yahoo newsgroup and blogger post.  I have added something before my signature so that it doesn’t show up on the post.

 

Even when I set myself up to concentrate well, I don't quite cut it.

I was going back and forth between 6 screens, one of those my phone and one my netbook. Oh, and listening to a ‘Star Trek’ episode. And eating a pomegranate. I was actually working on this new assignment, trying to determine what FTP stuff needs to be converted to SFTP, while going back and forth between a few things on 3 different sources. And while suddenly remembering something about a past item and detouring to look up a past email and forward it to someone. It came to me that I’d probably have better luck if I changed to white noise, so I did that. After 40 minutes of the white noise, I’m now listening to a movie, cuz it didn’t seem to be helping all that much.
