Babyjoe,

I know that people still think I talk to much, but I have vastly improved.  One thing I started doing was before I would say something I was just bursting to say, I would ask myself, “If I do not say this, how big a difference will it make 10 minutes from now, a day from now, a month from now, etc?”  Is anyone going to die If I don’t say it.  Will someone’s life be really less for it, or will they make a mistake if I don’t say it, etc? Most of the time, the answer was I wanted to say it because I felt I would burst if I didn’t.  It was not nearly as satisfying as saying the thought, but I know fewer people head the other way when they see me coming.

I am very glad I came across your posts and the ones’ following.  I must echo shutterbug55 , by saying “I thought I was the only one who feels like that.”  Lexie, I totally relate to you when you say that you do something brilliant, followed by screw-ups.  As soon as I give myself a pat on the back, it’s like I lose sight of what’s ahead and drive off the road.

 

I do customer service work and it takes me a LONG time to absorb the training and be able to get a smooth, efficient pattern down.  And of course I change jobs for various ADD reasons and have to learn a new system again.  If anyone has any thoughts about how to take good notes or to pick up all the info you must absorb in Customer Service work, please, any advice would be welcome.  I work at IT help desks.  A lot of troubleshooting, “This does not work, help!”
