Seriously. How do projects ever get done?

The biggest thing that has kept me from disassembling the camaro (aside from the lack of storage) is the fact that I'm afraid it'll be apart for years.

This is my problem. I didn't find that wife. Ha.

I get an evil look every single time I even think about going to the garage. If I get home and change clothes into "work" clothes I get asked "where do you think you're going?"

ugh.

battle. every. time.

hard to get anything done.

I have the shrink and the ADD.

Even covered by my medical insurance. $8 a month!

Not quite, but I'll tell you this- there's *no way* I'd have done even half of what I've done witout it. Plus I actually get my job done. Used to be I'd have like two weeks where nothing got done at work, then I had to work my ass off just to try to feel like I wasn't going to get fired. Now, at least, when I leave the office and go to the workshop, I have the work I'm supposed to do done and I actually feel able to go do something else. Before Adderall I couldn't get motivated to do anything after work. Just getting thorough the day was 110% draining. I know you were making a joke, I just though it was funny that I actually did it! lol And it helped! Not sure I'd recommend it for people who don't really have ADD though.

Actually, it was only a little tongue in cheek because it is the only way I'm getting things done. But a shrink does think I am ADD (I would agree, but can the thoughts of a mentally handicapped really matter????) but TOWMBO still thinks it's just an excuse to be lazy. Has driven me crazy for 50some years. But... OP, I am PROOF that it's possible to get projects done!!!! Even ones you started 10 years ago! WooHoo!!!!!!!

Adderall ftw!!!!

Tell the pants she wore today make her butt look fat. Then slam the garage door on the way out and turn on whatever noisy tool you have. Put the Mickey Mouse ears on, and get to work. Don't forget eye protection!

I didn't need to read that. I thought it was just because my current job sucks! I can't concentrate to save my life.

probably dont want to forget to put on a cup after that plan too

My shop time is from 9:30 - 11 pm after everyone is in bed.

I'm very realistic about the projects that I take on and my old VW 'vert. will be finished in late March when the weather turns warmer!

It took my eight years to "finish" my RX7. I still can't believe it actually drives.
