ADD Rocks!

I'm at work here in the heart/liver of Taipei. The air condition is on full blast which is fine because I don't think I could handle the 97 degree heat any other way. I should be working and writing tests, but every time I look at the screen to start writing, my eye does this little spasm thing and I start thinking of what else I should be doing. More like what else I'd prefer to be doing. I'm working on an article for an outside magazine and the due date is six day away. I've interviewed a few people, arranged for a couple more and now I'm just trying to put it all together. I'm taking next Monday afternoon off to do some of the work and I'll also go out this weekend and get even more of it done. This will be my first official outside writing job that pays. No, that's wrong. I've done others but this will be a nice one that I've been wanting to write for a while. It's on giving birth to a child here in Taipei.
Tonight my daughter is having a performance at school. It will be a horrendous event, with kids hopping around a stage, but she'll enjoy it and pass out later in the afternoon. I made the mistake of parking at the lot instead of taking the bus today. I'll pay through the teeth this evening, but I won't have to carry a tired child, my bags, and possibly groceries on the bus and into my car. I'm trying to convince myself that I did the right thing. It's not working.
OK, I'm going to do my work for the next 45 minutes without stopping. Here I go.
