I sit here on my day off thinking what to write about. I have dozens of thoughts going through my head. In the background my wife is watching TV while searching the web on her computer.
I can't quite decide what subject to write about. So I'm going to just let you see how my mind works, writing what ever pops into my head. The TV in the other room is loud enough to hear clearly. Hopefully I can block it out. I'm not a professional writer. In fact English was my worst subjects. Because I'm bad at it, it never became important until I realized how my communication skills were holding me back at work.
It took 50 years to realize that impressions people have of you are more important that what what your actually capable of. Nice guys do finish last. It makes for a great movie. But, in real life no ever notices the annoying guy really is smart.
A tall good looking, well dressed man who is a smooth talker, always gets the jobs, dates and money. The short dumpy fat guy with poor communication skills gets looked over. I can't tell you how many bullshit artists I seen knowing how I could do their job better, but never get the chance.
So where do I start.
I'm 50+ years old Married with kids. Adult kids with grandchildren, and they all live with me.
I have a fairly new job, been almost a year. I work in retail sales merchandising.
In the background my wife is know watching "Snapped!". Think she's looking for ways to get rid of me. I can't stand the mono tone voice of the narrator.
What was I talking about? Oh yeah.
Do you think that the way people perceive you is important? As person with Add/Adhd do you think about this fact before you realize you made a bad impression?
