I'm a lawyer, and I have my BA from UVA, my Master of Science from UNC Chapel Hill, and my JD from Wake Forest University School of Law. I'm supposed to be smart, and I am about certain things. But I forget. And I get confused over things when I overthink them, which is some. I'm not as bad as others, but ADHD is not your friend when you are a lawyer.
And why is that? The details, the fucking details. I skip over words sometimes, don't format as well, forget to do things I have written down, texted to me, or however else it is human beings try and remind themselves of shit.
And I forget them--a bunch. Yet, I can remember all kinds of statistical and factual information, what people were wearing in high school in October 1993. Specific people. It's freaky, like CIA level shit.
None of that crap does me any good.
Oh...and I can be a really great writer. The words sing like mockingbirds. I can tell you why your writing doesn't work and how to fix it. But I hate proofreading, and I really have to work at it. I suppose all of us do.
Oh...were you expecting this thing to have any structure? Don't bet on it. I'm at the office at close to 9 because I didn't get my work done, which happens. And I procrastinate.
But, when I'm good, I'm really fucking good.
More later.
