[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of the workplace. My boyfriend has ADD. I actually think private sector is better for him than the government will be. He works tons of hours for a law firm, but he is allowed to pretty much keep his own hours and work wherever he wants. So he can get up in the morning, concentrate on something for half an hour, then go to gym. Come back, work for an hour to get home, then going to office. Work in office for a couple hours, then go outside and get lunch. Come home work for a few more hours, then go run errands. Go back into office for a couple hours. Come home, eat dinner. Then work for another hour or two. As opposed the government, or he would have to come in at a set time, take half an hour for lunch, work on afternoon, and then go home. Although he'll be working less hours for the government, I don't think he could handle doing all those hours in one stretch in the same location with no breaks other than lunch.[/quote]

and then on the weekends he is constantly doing work throughout the day but he will take random breaks where he does something for an hour too. Or maybe email for five or 10 minutes while out for a couple hours.[/quote]
This actually sounds miserable to me.  And if I were the partner on the case he's working on, it would drive me bonkers.  [/quote]

I actually had an employee like this and it was fabulous. Clients would email at 8pm and get an answer almost immediately. They would send a question at midnight and get an answer by 6am. They asked me if he ever went home. It appeared to the client that he worked 24/7 but it worked for him and worked for me.[/quote]
