About two years ago I was told by a “doc” that after the test I took, I obviously have ADD. I don’t believe in “classifications” from our doctors. Not for mental, or neurological issues. So I’ll just say, I get really going on something, then drop it like it’s hot. Hey, that’s a song!
I’ve never fully dropped this blog. I’ve written since 2005, but have moved my blog from platform to platform settling on WP for awhile now. Still, it’s been three years and I haven’t dropped it.
I purchased a German Shepard puppy – Indy – ’cause I was really excited to do canine search and rescue. Well, the little guy has “pano” and working him with limping this bad isn’t such a bright idea. So that’s on hold.
I’ve been an accountant in one form or another from clerk to CFO to now consultant, my own company. I’ve done the same thing since I was 17. So that’s 23 years. So that’s steady.
Somehow I got into database maintenance for a company, and have done that for 2 years now. Web maintenance for about two years as well.
What did I WANT to be when I grew up? Well, besides U.S. Air Force career that went down the tubes before actually leaving for boot camp – Engineering/Mathematics/Physics was where I wanted to be. Why? The hecks if I know! But, one of those was something I would have LOVED to get into.
Alas – single mom for 10 years, you don’t just change careers. Now I’m married… but…
I’m really at a point where I’m bored. I’ve lost my largest client – rather, they WAY cut hours so I’m not doing well financially. Hey, that’s the sound from alot of folks now adays. Daniel’s business is always fine.
What should I do? I’m 40 is that too late to abruptly change career paths? I mean abruptly. Go to school, get another degree… that kinda thing.
I’m bored and not making $$$.
Maybe a teacher? I don’t know…. scientist? Can you really start stuff like that at 40? I love math… history… I just signed up for my first class at college in a few years it seems. Some funky pre-requisite class but I noticed my major was Physics… from 1994! I hadn’t been there in awhile. LOL Why did I quit that? OH yeah… divorce…
ARGH!
Oh yeah, the reference to ADD is ’cause hobby wise I pick something up, get excited and drop drop drop. argh

We always have ideas about what we want to be, don’t we?

Hey Z! I don’t think it’s ever too late to make a career change. God forbid I end up in the career I’m in for the rest of my life…ugh. But I certainly can’t afford to make a change in this economy. I may be 40 before I can make a change. Who knows? But 40 is young and if you work until the average age of retirement (somewhere around 65), you still have another 25 years of working to go! You might as well enjoy it as much as you can, right? So, I say go do what you want to do. Whatever makes you happy
On another note, I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
It’s never too late! I’m – gulp – 46, and I have to think that! Here I thought I’d be teaching somewhere in New England, and writing books on the side (on the side of what, I wonder?)…here I am somewhere entirely, utterly different in every sense. The 40s are still young. I hope. I think…
And I hope that you have an utterly terrific Thanksgiving, BTW

You’re never to old to switch paths. I say find something your passionate about and make a career out of it!
thinkinfyous last blog post..I Am The Funny One!
Never too late…our destiny’s are never set, we walk a path and we may think we are going to gone direction in life but then we get a turn…but I don’t think that means we all had ADD!! Just stop and ask yourself what your passionate about most and go from there!!! Have faith!!
Susans last blog post..Way Way too early for me!!
My husband has ADD as well. He moves from one hobby to the next. But I think we all feel a little ADD from time to time (just some more than others).

Are you sure your rising sign isn’t gemini? I do exactly the same thing you do which is why your husband loves your quirky personality. I’ve pushed myself this weekend to finish one project – my bedroom!!
If you need some work, come help me. I have a huge project that needs to be put into Quicken asap – like ugh, right now. Do you want to do it? I’m so far behind. And I have other things you could help me with too…since you know blogs
call me
@bytesofcookie: Isn’t that funny? I swear some of us are a little loopy when it comes to keeping things goin! I think 40 is really young. I’ve looked forward to my forties for a long time! They’re here!
I hope your son continues to enjoy and have fun!
@thinkinfyou: I’m still trying to find my passion! LOL I’ll post on it.. there are a few areas I’d like to get to… we’ll see! HUGS and Happy Thanksgiving!
@Susan: I think we all have it to to some extent… maybe this is a mid-life crisis!
Thanks for the support! Happy Thanksgiving!
@Lynn: Oh goodness, I’m sorry… LOL

Hugs and Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for the support!
