I operate an orderpicker for a furniture warehouse, moving sofas and chairs 4 stories in the air. I also drive a forklift and high speed pallet jack.

I know I've heard a couple of doozies, so I thought I'd throw it out there. Who else has an ironic job for an adder?

I worked at a cell centre. It was "Call before you dig" And you had to make sure you listened to every single detail and wrote it down on the computer.

I surprisingly did really well at that job. Got the highest evaluation possible, so I had the highest wage. However I really did have to strain myself, and I was getting quited pooped by the time I left to go back to school. If I go back next year, it will be interesting to see if the medication helps at all.

insurance agent....keeping track of all the paper work, files, calls.....

School auction. Take the slips from the winning bidders, put them in the bidder's folder, get the item slip from the category files, give that to the bidder, take all the item slips the bidder has, add them together, tell the bidder how much s/he owes, send them to check out, when they come back .... wait a minute, wasn't I supposed to discard the ... no, I ... where is the money? But...oh I was supposed to keep that ... what do you mean that we now don't have any record of how much we were supposed to have collected...yes, I know that's thousands of $$$$ ... ok, I won't help out next year.

It's experiences like this which, even before I was dxed (or had heard the term ADD), made me understand that there were certain jobs which I shouldn't even think about.

Former job:

RECEPTIONIST AT FUTURES TRADING OFFICE. Corn, soybeans, wheat, milo. Phone calls, phone calls on hold, nasty futures traders, boring! Plus the a holes wanted me to lie for them. ONE OF MY MOST HATED JOBS EVER!
