[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 551733, member: 5663"] My work is actually good. I work for a money manager, I do operations (non-client support, which means a ton of stuff, lots of hats, kind of office manager, website manager, office mom and psychic), compliance (making sure we're following SEC rules) and now I started doing trading because somebody quit (like spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in a day of other people's money). It's usually quiet around here, and it's easier to work with numbers than with words. I can put my headphones in and listen to music if I want to (especially when doing all numbers, it helps my mind from drifting). It's a good job for me. I can use my geek skills well here. And I don't have to talk to a lot of people every day. My boss doesn't even come in everyday and she isn't an overtalker, she's direct and to the point. There are only 4 of us now total, we need to hire one more person. They've been wonderful to me and are very accommodating, kids come first since we all have them. But yeah, I would be "on" all day at work, being polite and whatnot and just like one of our kids, I need to come home and let down my guards, and that means giving me some transition time. I'm not given the time to reset and switch gears. I know husband has some hearing loss, but not a ton. His overtalking is really his ADD or probable Aspergers coming out. He LOVES it when he can find other "talkers". Maybe if he just talked about stupid fluffly stuff it wouldn't be so bad, but it's computers, conspiracy stuff, complex theories, things I actually need to use brain space for. I don't want to use my brain anymore, I want to let it just be jello after work for a bit. He also tells me the same stuff over and over, and I tell him he told me xyz, and he gets mad that he didn't tell me, and I find out at the end he told me 95% of it, and just needed to add something, but can't just tell me the 5%. He has to go over the whole thing again. Something about the way his brain works that it has to process the entire thing. And if I interrupt him, he loses his thought. He doesn't get the back and forth conversation bit, I don't know why. I can go back to a subject we spoke about 20 min ago, but not him. It's weird. I keep trying to look at it as just part of his genetics, that's it's just part of him and I try not to get frustrated by it. [/QUOTE]
