True story about a former boss I had (one of the BEST i’ve ever had)
He was about 60 I suppose, it was an auto parts store and repair business. I worked in the shop. Niel came back into the shop – he got a wrecker call and was about to take the tow truck out………. it was chilly weather if I recall. He was looking for his hat. He’d been looking for it for a while. (it was on his HEAD!) when he came back to us, we all sort of signaled each other with only glances that we’d not tell him….
We let him look through the shop and I think he spent another 5 minutes and asked us again if we were SURE we’d not seen his hat.
Finally we had to let the poor fellow know so he could take off…… I think it was the service manager who finally pointed to the top of his head – and he reached up and calmly said “you horses @%%’s)
No, he was not ADD at all.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked for things that:
I had in my hand not 30 seconds ago,
I put in a safe place where I just KNEW I’d remember them, only to be unable to recall where that was less than a week, sometimes less than a day, later,
Put in the file cabinet, then a year later, wasn’t sure how I was filing things, or what I would have called it or categorized is when I filed it.
However, it’s truly not always my fault……
Sometimes, rarely, but it does happen, my wife puts it away as she’s tired of seeing it sitting around
and one of the funniest times – one of the cats had taken off with it – and it was among their toys in another room.
I also found an item in my shoe one morning, can’t recall what it was, but it was something of mine they’d found and put into my shoe.
Koko is OCD, but I can’t really say that he’s ADD – I think his brother might be ADD…….hyper son of a gun, bounces off the walls.
