Do media specialists have ADD?

Oh this is so funny. I was talking with another media specialist from my school district this afternoon and she said she noticed I was presenting twice. Well, I made light of it, stating I was scheduled for the earlybird special on Friday.

Fast forward to 5 minutes ago and OH OH! I was selecting sessions to attend and when I got to Thursday afternoon, I finally saw what she had seen earlier. Uh huh. And the story doesn't end there. I reflected upon the 2 email notifications I received, and had questioned to which room was I really assigned for Friday morning. The song, "I Can See Clearly Now" comes to mind. And I roared with laughter as I realized that I just might have ADD after all. Those two email notifications were indeed informing me that I had been scheduled to present my topic not once, but twice.

And tomorrow @ 4:30, the curtain will go up and the show will begin! I'm still laughing at myself over this, but I'm ready and that's a good thing.

Maybe as media specialists we are such multi-taskers that FBR sets in - that's Fly By Reading. I do that alot and sometimes, I miss the tiniest of details. Well, a principal once told me that the devil's in the details. Being more of a visionary and imagineer, I tend to see the forest, not the trees. Call it a bird's eye view as opposed to the worm's eye view.

With that, it's to infinity and beyond, and finalizing things for tomorrow!
