Although paperwork is kryptonite to someone with ADHD, I’m usually the one my managers ask to help them with the inspections of the theatre where I work. It’s an old building, and there’s never been enough money to properly maintain it, so there are always plenty of things that need attention. I can spot the usual problems, but I also really have a knack for spotting the unusual problems, even the tiny ones. And I’m the one who carries the clipboard, and notes everything in the log.
Why is it that I’m so good at focussing on things when I’m doing these inspections, but other times, I have so much trouble with attention to detail? Perhaps it’s because I’m working together with a manager, or perhaps it’s because we’re going into parts of the building that I only ever go into when we’re doing the inspections, which makes it interesting.
Yesterday, we really had an adventure, exploring the areas underneath the stage. They weren’t on the official list of areas to inspect, but I wanted to explore them, and my manager was curious too, because in all her years of working there, she’d never explored them either. It’s sad to see stage equipment (like an elevator, so characters can suddenly appear onstage through a trap door) locked up and marked “DO NOT USE! UNSAFE!” simply because the powers that be refused to allow enough money in the budget to maintain it.
