Allow me to introduce myself....Hi! I'm Sandra
Hi Snapzu Community;
My name is Sandra. I'm an ADHDer with a penchant for chocolate, coffee and sarcastic eye rolling. I was born in Argentina and live in San Diego California where I work at a renewable energy re-enacting scenes from the movie Office Space, except without the rebellion and flair. Right now I sit next to one of five ferns around the office, although there are rumors that I might be relocated next to the printers and across from Liz - a hypochondriac Mormon mother of three who has at least one relative a month die. Basically, I can't ask her how she is doing. The answer is never good and I've had to learn this the really hard way. Anyway, fingers crossed for this sweet spot!
I started a blog at the beginning of the year to entertain myself at work:
https://mylessonsinreality.com/
Writing helps me brainstorm and gives my thoughts focus - something that is hard for me to do with ADHD. I'm hoping to use Snapzu to engage in a community of accepting folks, gain new perspectives and maybe be inspired. My interests are all over the board. I love learning about all kinds of topics - art, literature, science, technology, music, ect. I'm one of those people that knows a little about everything and can schmooze a room of rocket scientists as well as stoned out surfer dudes. Hopefully I'll find a niche here.
It's great to meet ya'll. Feel free to reach out and engage!

Welcome to Snapzu!
Thank you drunkenninja! I look forward to reading some of your posts.
Ditto! Looks like you got a fantastic start already with your content. Have you created a tribe yet?
I'm not ready to be a tribe leader hahaa! Still figuring out how this works!
Hello and welcome to Snapzu!
Thanks jcscher! I've enjoyed reading some of the insightful articles you've been posting.
Hi Sandra!
Hi Sandra,
As a pirate I am all about the renewable energy, specifically wind energy. Nothing like a sail full of wind! I sit right outside my directors office so he "can keep an eye on me". I had a tendency to kick in the doors of managers and directors and yell at them from time to time. But I had to stop that once they put in sliding glass doors for all the offices so they could see "who" is coming. And by "who" I mean me. We also have a Mormon in the office but he wont talk to me anymore because I keep asking about that crazy magic underwear they all wear. I am honestly interested in it, like will it stop a round? Can I swim better? Could I fly if I wear it? I don't think you could fly while wearing it because I do not see many Mormons flying around the US and I believe if anyone had flying magical underwear they would use it every day! I know I would. So anyway, this is SNAPZU. We don't have a lot of Fern's around and I have yet to find the printer but have fun!
Thanks for the awesome welcome CrookedTale! Honestly, the Mormon are such a sensitive peoples. Have you ever had a Scientologist try to convert you though? If you are going to ask about magic underwear, they probably have an answer for you.
Welcome Sandra....love the humor in your writing! You will love it here!
Thanks Appaloosa! Let's face it, humor is just a way to keep from crying. Sometimes it fails.
Hey Sandra!! I hope you like the site and find cool stuff to read/watch/view/hear/and-so-on. Your blog is nice and the story about ADHD and is in rough lines with the same experiences as mine (source: clinically diagnosed several times with ADHD and in my very young years, the notorious 70's, they had a really different name for it: Hard to Raise. True story. That is what childcare and a judge told my mother before they tried to put me in an institution for children that have an easy manual, but are hard to read for most adults. ;-) Luckily I have a good mother, who's seriously convincing in arguments. Even with judges and especially about her kids. :-) It's a rock and roll life here and there, but hey: I do not care about what people think about me and I hardly ever mean the outbursts. Except with paint, that is my saviour on many fronts. Anyways, enough about me.
Have a blast and see you around! :-)
