Then how about going into one of the therapies – I worked at On With Life, a head injury facility. WOW, there’s something to get and keep your attention, plus you are helping people. Even though I was just in charge of the buildings and grounds, security, maintenance, and the communications systems, it was totally interesting to watch the music therapist, cognative therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist – all of ’em at work. They needed nurses, therapists, aids, you name it. I suspect there’s a discipline there somewhere that might work out for some ADD folks. I’d still be there had it not been for a totally tyranical boss who wanted to run things like the military. I was second only to the president and CEO, and the year I left, they turned over half the 80 staffers that worked there (due mostly to him)
I was management – decided I no longer wanted to be management. When I was helping my staff keep up by going out and running the John Deere mower, I got my tail chewed royally. I thought fine – I’d rather keep my hands in it than sitting back barking orders and if I can’t help my staff when they fall behind, this isn’t for me, so I left.
