Wasn't there a thread on ADD?

For the record, I'm female.

Which would make "foot-in-mouth" a male thing.

yeah, but how many people actually like to have more than one conversation going on at once? i figure most people don't have the capacity to follow two conversations at the same time.

Whilst its not the same thing I can have a conversation and write at the same, or listen to someone and write something different.

In my job I have to do these things. It can be frustrating when the customer told me the information and I have to remember it long enough to write it.

I remember reading that people who multitask usually get less done because of a thing called "context switching". It takes your brain a while to switch to a different project. This isn't something unique to ADD sufferers, though they may be hit harder by it.

Not to be harsh, but that sounds like my mom. She's usually doing about 5 different things at once. I often how many of those things she's really concentrating on.

here's another good example of the automatic music-association my brain does. we actually had a customer whose first name was "Sharona" today. i shouldn't have to tell you what song came into my head before i realized it.

A thread about ADD seems to have gotten off track. What were the odds?
