Interesting Read

The web is a wild beast. Searching for a music manager application for my desktop (I run Fedora, btw), I ran across this blog:
Lifehacker Blog
and the article it references:
"Top 10 Advantages of ADD in a High Tech Career"

I've always made it a running joke that I have AADD even though I'll never go see a shrink. My theory is: "I know I'm screwed up. I don't need to pay someone to tell me that." ;) Even so, this was quite an interesting article consider I work in the IT field. I feel like I've found a home, of sorts, there. Even in the last 7+ years, I haven't lost interest in what I'm doing.

Reading over what the good Dr. Quily states:

"Top Ten ADD Advantages in a Hi Tech Career.

1. The Ability to Hyperfocus.
2. Rapid Fire Mind.
3. Multitasking at Will.
4. High Energy Level.
5. Highly Creative.
6. Quick Learner.
7. Stimulus Seeking Brain.
8. Constantly Scanning your Environment.
9. Great in a Crisis.
10. Risk Taker."

most of these fit my personality.

Ok, so that makes this article a little scary. Am I really AADD? LOL! Eh... who cares, right? :)

Newayz, just a little randomness on reality. BTW, it is butt ass cold here. Even got snow flurries this afternoon. Snow? Here? Come on; I live in the South. It's not supposed to be this cold.

So... yeah....
W00t! Margaritas for everyone! ...heh ;)
