  • I’ve got diagnosed at age 26, now 16 years ago. This was after a whole set of tests, spread over days with observation included. You need a professional because there is so much involved.

    Everybody’s different so even though articles and YouTube videos on the subject may seem recognisable, sometimes they also describe stuff that I don’t experience.

    There is no hyperactivity on the surface but that doesn’t mean there is no hyperactivity at all. I for an instance became very well at hiding and suppressing the ‘H’ in ADHD. So much that even to me it seems like there’s nothing there.

    So, get tested by a professional. When’ you get diagnosed, see how that can work for you. I for an instance had poor results in high school but graduated magna cum laude in law school four years ago.

    Being diagnosed made me look for alternative ways of organising my life and made me more successful. At least it made me understand myself.


  • Pizza baking sheets. They didn’t fit in my oven.

    A paella pan. I don’t like paella.

    A coffee grinder. It just doesn’t grind coffee beans to the right size.

    A random Italian cookbook. I have a chefs degree. I’m well down with basic Italian cooking.

    See, I cook every day. Twice. And on occasion I love to cook for friends but that also means I’m over poor quality cooking stuff. I’ll buy my own gear. Most people think they do me a favour but I just have useless stuff piling up over the years. I’m grateful to get gifts but last year I just told people right a way that if they want to give me cooking related gifts I would be equally happy with some special sort of salt of some fun ingredients to cook with. Those things don’t last as long but it would make for a much better gift for a food enthousiast.



















  • Contractual and lawful reasons.

    You can’t be fired without proper cause so when they fire you without proper cause the wil have to keep you on board for a while or choose to pay you out for that amount of time. I was sort of a foreman with a teal of about 20 technicians and I also had to work directly with our customers. They deemed me a liability because I was fired so they chose to pay out.

    Same with salesmen. When you fire them without proper cause they want you out of their network as soon as possible and won’t take the risk of letting you work with costumers anymore so they just pay out the amount of time that is needed.
