ADD?

I've never been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, so maybe I'm just clueless....or bored, or apathetic, or would much rather be doing something different than what is currently occupying my time. Maybe you guys can tell me if this happens to most people and I am totally normal. This is what happened today:

My thought process: Yay, 15 minutes until I need to take my stuff out of the autoclave. I'll take this time to look at Facebook, flights home for Christmas, and annoy people on gchat.

5 minutes later......in walks boss.

Boss: Just checking to see how things are going, can I help you with (insert experiment), how is (insert other experiment)?

Me (as I frantically try to minimize everything and pretend I'm doing something work related): Yep, everything is going fine. I plan to start (experiment) tomorrow due to timing.

After a 10 minute discussion, boss walks over to talk with coworker.

My thought process: Yay, now I can get stuff out of autoclave and start making reagents for (experiment) and go do (other experiment).

Overhear boss's discussion with co-worker......get sucked in which goes like this for me.

Boss: Sarah, do you have any ideas for what we should be doing in order to gather more background information that would help us get a paper published?

I reply with an okay answer that doesn't make me look like a blubbering fool.

Boss: That's a good idea.....(not done talking)......

My thought process: Woohoo, I sound smart for once!

Boss: ..... are they excitatory or inhibitory neurons?. Also, we need to show where the receptor is located.....

My thought process: I feel like I may have missed something, but I still know what's going on. I got this.

Boss: .....cell signaling, we should look at the amygdala.....

My thought process: Hmm, there was a sign on the autoclave not to leave liquids 15 minutes past end of cycle. I wonder if I should be concerned because it has now been 20 minutes past end of cycle.

Boss: ....brain word....

My thought process: Crap, I should know more about that word. I should take home one of the text books and actually study. I bet he expects me to know more about my project than I currently do.

Boss: ....saying more science words....

My thought process: It looks dark outside, hey, there's a guy on a bike. Wonder where he's going. I bet it's nice out for a run. It'll probably be dark when I get home this evening.

Boss: ....saying more science words....

My thought process: Crap, I totally missed what he just said. Thank goodness for co-worker who is adding to this conversation and taking notes. I wonder if she'll share those with me later.

Boss: ......more science words.....

My thought process: I wonder how the skate party will be. I need to send our officiant our rehearsal time. Oh, we should also fill out those forms she asked us for. Reese is retarded. Wonder if Ben has a plan for dinner. My stomach still hurts. I need to come in to work at 7 am tomorrow.

Boss: So what do you think about that?

Me: Sounds good, I'll start working on it.

Awkward silence.

Coworker: Wanna go get started on (experiment).

Me: Yes, but I need to go get my stuff out of the autoclave first.

And I swear, I forgot what I was doing for about 5 minutes on my way to the autoclave.
