I have a problem hearing well on the phone, or hearing the TV or even in person if there is background noise which is almost all the time at my house :(
I have a 5 year old and an NT adult who both insist on the TV being on even if no one is watching it.

Yep--I forgot to mention this. Now imagine having to work in these conditions (part-time cashier at Walmart). 8O

I probably have this as it almost sounds that when I am on the phone someone will undoubtedly talk in the background or there will be all this non-stop chat and typing, sometimes laughter.
Today I had to cancel a puzzle subscription which had become a nuisance as they were really a con. At the end of the convo he like tried to seduce me with slow mono and I just thought hmm then..no wait, it s a con, leave.. now. Of course I did.
I n regard to the job front, I had a job on phones selling windows and soffits and garage doors, and the list they gave me was so short and hopeless I thought who in the phonebook is gonna listen to me at peak hour? I was lucky to even get a response and the guy I was talking to seemed nice and then the manager had bugged the phone so he could hear every word of counsel I was issuing, so a sell seemed unlikely, but wth? if he had given me a good list, and not just expect me to go sorting through x files then maybe I would have been lucky in response.
Oh yeah, and what was funny right is that the person I had brought in was in opposition to them,
so they too were buying and selling windows, I thought hmm, mr Halifax, why did I call you up?
Haha. if my ex reads this he's gonna have a field day, talking of which I had at that one stop shop.
Bye exes, and sorry if I tarnished this thread.
