> I got fired from more than my share of crappy jobs. I was one hopeless cashier and waitress. But when I do something I like well enough (in my case graphic design) and I'm not bored, I do a better job and my good qualities at least partially make up for my inattention.
I think that's a common feature of ADHD: difficulty focussing on boring, repetitive tasks. A lot of people with ADHD say that they need a personal assistant or something. (I don't have one myself, but my Palm Pilot does seem somewhat helpful. < g >)
