I guess I getting a little more comfortable with my "ADHD shortcomings". I was on a mission and trying to get something accomplished. My supervisor was trying to joke around a bit to lighten our spirits since we'd all been busting our butts.. She had on this hokey hat, goggles and had addorned herself with gaudy gold Hawian lais (SP?). I asked her if she had the screw driver and she said here it is. I grabbed it from her saying thankyou and never even showed any indication that I saw her comical appearance. Later on she mention it and I admitted that when I'm on a mission, I just don't acknowledge things. Of course I didn't say "I have ADD" but at least I can admit that hyperfocus is a part of me.:cool:
I don't think that I would even recognize this a year ago.

Thanks for the pat on the back, I've learned to take in and appreciate every pat on the back. You never ever seem to get enough. I've also learned to pat my own back.:cool:
