Used to work in an office….some aspects of it I liked, many others I chafed at. I could not come in on time to save my life. Yes, very ADD, but there were lots of ADD factors, not just one. Lack of time sense, yes, rebellion, yes, immaturity, yes, morning sluggishness, the list goes on and on. I liked the routine, I liked it when my duties were clearly defined….Essentially, I liked to be told what to do, but now how to do it. Shyness was a huge problem; I always felt timid and lacking in confidence, unpolished, even though I knew I was a smart person.
I could probably go on and on, but I’ll leave it at that for now. These days I have two part-time occupations but am primarily an at-home mom. I would say both my part time jobs – singing and living history work – are fairly ADD-friendly, though they have their pitfalls!
