On top of having a mild case of ADD as evidenced by my last posting I am also somewhat clumsy. This comes in part from the fact that I am constantly multitasking. I have two computer screens at work. One I use to check and respond to the hundreds of emails I receive and the other I use to complete tasks in our production software.
Today I found myself on the phone ordering a payoff, eating oatmeal, and working up a settlement statement. Combine this with the fact that this job requires me to be extremely accurate and detail oriented and after a few years it's enough to send anyone over the edge.
My friend and coworker once said...well actually she exclaimed. My friend once exclaimed, "the OCD and the ADD are so bad we are all going to end up in API (that's the Alaska Psychiatric Institute)
And it's so true.
So, I will blame my employment for my clumsiness and ask for compensation for sweaters ruined by ink toner and pizza sauce, pants ruined by spilled coffee, and shoes broken from running around like a crazy person wondering, "what's HAPPENING."
Today I spilled soup down the front of my WHITE sweater while I was eating lunch with the Realtors from upstairs because I was too busy talking to focus on eating. I try to keep the dishabille to a minimum but the fact is I probably do one closing a month with something on my shirt.
If I look right at you and drop a file full of papers on the floor and have to spend the next 20 minutes reassemble them just know I've been here before.
So if you choose to be my friend please know that if we go out to eat, I will probably end up wearing some of it.
You may say I am ridiculous. I say it's part of my charm.
