[QUOTE="Star*, post: 209866, member: 4964"] First of all - Did ANYONE acknowledge that they were totally proud of her for WORKING? OMG and then to top it off 14 hours, with a person who is hard of hearing? Lemme tell ya kiddo - I am a seasoned worker. I'm putting in 15 hours every day, and some days I dont' get lunch, and then I have to put up with living with a man whom I am SURE is fond of the words "WHAT? HUH?" and by the end of the day, somedays; I could chew people up. spit them out and not think twice about it. So....in review - KUDOS on working - ANYWHERE, but extra Kudo from your auntie Star for doing a civic/patriotic duty (bonus points to me) Next? PACK A LUNCH - you are part of the work force in the world now and to look and BE cool? Mom and Dad should not buy your lunch - the cool thing here is brown bagging or cooler lunch. If you eat Micky D's every day your butt will be bigger than a freight train caboose - so pack GOOD things - mmmm k? Finally - If you are not used to being around people who are hard of hearing it WILL BE frustrating. In our hearing world we often forget that we mumble, talk while looking away and then I can't read your lips - and the fact that you are YOUNG you may not understand it - but try working just in your house with ear plugs in - and watch HOW frustrated everyone gets with you when you have to repeatedly ask "WHAT WHAT?" give the old dude some credit for living that long....more than likely he wasn't being mean to you - he's just OLD, TIRED, hard of hearing, and you are young, pretty and quick - (frustrating things when you work with younger people really and I'm like 44) pft.....Getting older is not fun. Seeing youth run circles around you? Even more not fun. The brain stays young, the body gets old. You'll have YEARS to heed my advice on that! So in review - BRAVO on working a patriotic job, remember to pack a good lunch and 2 snacks....every day, HEALTHY ONE - and gummy bears do NOT constitute as a .....wait a minute - yes they do....healthy snack..and when confronted with hard of hearing persons - SPEAK DIRECTLY AT THEIR FACE and allow them to see your lips move.....SPEAK LOUDLY and dont be afraid if it sounds like you are shouting (but dont yell) and then adjust your voice to their response as in "I can HEAR you or COULD you SPEAK UP?" Congratulations - and finally - always remember that you DO have a great Mom and Dad - BUT part of growing up is sticking it out, so maybe next time....wait like 20 more minutes before calling - go find a place to cry, get it out of your system, get a drink and go back with your head up.... YOU ARE AFTER ALL - MY CYBER NIECE - uh huh......uh huh, uh huh. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!! GO GIRL>>>>>>>WOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo HOOOO [/QUOTE]
