I'm aiming for this to be a light hearted post to share little things that effect or trigger our wandering brains :-) a bit of fun really (and I guess a semi-vent lol).
When you're working in a room with someone and your trying to focus. They look up at you and say the first three or four words of a sentence or questions then stop and say 'never mind, we've got to focus' and go back to their work.
I can't focus now! My brain is now running over every possible end to your comment or question!
It would be less interruptive and distracting to just say the full sentence then follow with ' oh we can talk about it later' then to just leave it hanging.
And when you say something you get told to focus!!!
I told my oh I'm gonna buy a sponge brick that I can throw at him next time he does this lol

I'd never actually throw anything at him, I love him too much for that, but I will tickle him next time - broken arm or not lol!
He's got some of the same trats as me when it comes to ADHD, but the struggles I fast he doesn't face so much. His is more a difference of education (his schooling never really started til about ten years ago) so office polities go over his head, along with large sums of paper and words lol. He has no trouble focusing when he has too, and if he puts him phone down he works much the same as everyone else.
But his timelines always leave me reeling - he calls it Asian time: no red tap, just get it done kinda stuff. For example - where he's from building a house from scratch means buying the land and building then and there, 2-3 months for the full build (including electrics and standard paint job), longer in wet season, so he expects things to be as fast everywhere. Here we're slowed by plenty red tap that doesn't exist so much where he is from - lol in his homeland (Caribbean) they call 'health and safety, common sense lol).
However, when it come to my work he always think I can work faster then I do no matter the topic, time or day - my fault I guess - he's so used to me in hyper mode that he thinks I can maintain that whenever I want, like a hat that I pull on and off, and so he thinks that's my norm, he doesn't realise how much it hurts my head to be in that state for any length of time bless him.
Even when I'm on non hyper kinda calm mode, I'm still faster then him at writing and typing, so emails and such are left to me. I'm basically an PA lol. The idea was that my helping him out would give him more time for the kids.
