For me, closing doors doesn’t help because I KNOW the distraction is there even if I can’t see or hear it!
I have to work when there is NO one around – and I mean NO one, there’s no talking, no nuttin even if I can’t hear it……. it’s a distraction.
They just don’t get that. I know there’s something on the other side of that wall – I want to be in on it, I want to listen, I need to know.
Thus my request for early work hours. I had the earlier hours, but they forced me to change them,a nd are fighting me every inch of the way to get them back. The one special nurse person I saw agreed, and was ready to complete the reasonable accommodations forms but then decided to send me to another specialist doctor who she said could do a better job.
If I know there’s people there, it’s a distraction even if i was in a lead-lined sealed box. No one gets it but me.
yo-yo’s? I work with ’em, don’t need to play with ’em
