I should be working, but find myself just wandering this site and reading what people have to write. Of course, being an opinionated individual worldly in everything, but specializing in nothing... I post comments of random thoughts.<O:p</O:p

I have yet to apply the tools available for people with ADD/ADHD. I have yet to be diagnosed and am like one of those patients in the waiting room inquisitive to the characteristics of the other people in the room and finding comaraderie because I understand them and they knowingly smile and understand me.

I was thrilled to read a blog about a post on talking on the phone. I am not a social creature to begin with and to expect me to have a meaningful conversation on the phone is next to impossible. I swear, I tell people they pay me to be nice on the phone here at work.<O:p></O:p

I also can't understand 'uncertainty' language. I will have to call people inquiring for specific information. I am responded to with, "Maybe," "I think," or the classic "I don't know, but..." I find myself telling the person on the other line to transfer me to someone who does know because I need a specific yes or no answer.<O:p</O:p

Hmm I can relate especially to the calling and needing information and wanting a direct answer. Okay I can't see why this would be a problem per say. . . I mean if you need to know the length of Abraham's Lincolns right arm then what will it benefit you to converse with some one who knows he has an arm but doesn't know the exact length. . . .

It depends on who is on the other end of the phone, I do not mind speaking to people I know like my family however I do not like speaking to people I do not know. I can do it and have in my profession many times but doing and liking are not one in the same thing.
