Hi,
That’s a funny story….only in my case, that story has repeated itself so many times…it lost it’s humor long time ago :) I’ve always been in trouble being late…generally, I either underestimate or overestimate the amount of time I need to do something…so I either end up being late or ridiculously early. I’ve realized that overcompensating is better as I KNOW I something will go wrong and I will need the extra time to fix it! The worse part is that people think I take their time for granted. Maybe that has a hint of truth in it…well, I take MY time for granted most of the times…but then mostly I am agonizing over being the last person to finish something or making people wait for me.
Presentations! They always cause trouble…but my worst fears are timed exams!! It funny how my mind goes blank when the time’s running out…ask me the same question after the exam and I’ll be kicking myself for not answering it correctly in the exam! Oh well, now I’m getting used to it and partly know how to control it…
As you say, finally we have to find the “fun” in our lives..talking of which….the other day, I had to go to the store A to buy something - on my way out I could not find my wallet - so I searched around and finally decided to see in my car. Of course, by the time I reached the car, I had totally forgotten about the wallet. I took my car out…drove all the way to the store, only to realize that I had driven absent-mindedly to store B instead of store A. I drove back 2 miles (I had actually driven past store A without even realizing it!) - go in…found what I wanted (just 15 minutes before closing)…and of course, as I was checking out, realized that I didn’t have my wallet!! I ran back to the car look in glove compartment…no wallet. So in the end, I have to drive back home without getting anything done! On my return I searched everywhere but not a sign of the wallet. As a last attempt, I look again in the car..not expecting anything - guess what, the wallet sitting right beside me in the passenger seat!!!!!
So much for my ADD. And life goes on…
