So, I am still hemming and hawing over whether I should go for this. My boyfriend has no doubt that I am capable of the tasks, but has raised a concern and i see his point.
I tend to not be able to stand over-stimulation with noise. I will give you two examples:
1) At my current job in retail, I was trying to figure out a dilemma on the register having to deal with a gift certificate. I had to pay attention to the details, because this company is so outdated and fossilized. Luckily, there was no line, but the woman I was helping with this GC kept trying to intervene, and offer suggestions, and telling me what to do. And then my spazz of a co-worker kept talking in my ear, she tends to speak very fast and repeats herself 3x in a row. Meanwhile, I cannot figure out what is wrong with the system(in the end, it was the system's error, not mine.). But I was extremely close, and may have toed the line, of snapping at the customer. *small side note to also understand, for some reason, people do not listen when I speak. So they talk over me after I had already said what they're now saying, and it is infuriating. And that is what this woman was doing. So, I sort of got tunnel vision and an anxiety level I am not comfortable with.
2) Any time we have a family event. My family is very loud, talks over one another. Then add a crying baby where her mother isn't paying attention and I am freaking out due to the noise. I have to leave the space, because it feels like tunnel vision and I want to curl into a ball.
Now. I understand the duties that have to be done simultaneously and the serious responsibilities involved. Knowing what you deal with and do, and knowing my noise issues, do you honestly think this is a wise career move? I am looking for honest answers.
Thank you.
