ive worked in corporate for 25 years and my adhd has been a double edged sword  on the one hand theres the drudgery aspect and the omg can someone please shove a pencil in my throat and end it all already moments  not fun and i literally cannot get any work done  fortunately for me ive had some good bosses in the past who taught me how to advocate for my own success  i learned how to curate my workload to things i at which i excelled  rule 1 was that i needed more work in my queue than i could possibly get done in a day but it was ok it if didnt all get done  my boss just loaded me up and said i dont care how much you do on any given day but i need this by then  so days when i could only crank out 50 effort were balanced out by hyperfocus sessions  i also work in tech and have a reputation as a reliable troubleshooter in complex environments  i can walk into a room full of panicking people and feel calm  the more hectic the problem the better  the chaos would trigger my hyperfocus and its like i could see the solution 3 steps ahead of anyone else  the way i saw it was its just a puzzle and for some reason puzzles have always held my attention  but dont get me started on my rubiks cube collection
