Trouble undertanding speech?

Post Reply New Topic

I have this problem. It seems like folks are speaking another language. Listening at work is a real problem, and I have really done some dumb stuff when I thought the boss said one thing, and I heard another. I think bosses get away with stuff, and just say that you didn't understand it. At a temp job, I had a boss tell me to make copies of a document, and then, after I made the copies, she said that it was only supposed to be the first page. Things like that. Any time I asked for her to repeat anything, she would give me that look, the "are you stupid" look. Her directions as to how to do a job were all over the map, with a great deal of assumptions, and that didn't help, either. I got to where I hated to ask for clarification. I finally told her that I had auditory integration difficulties, and I was let go within two days. Grrrrrr.

And, me too, with music. Lyrics? What are those? Na na na na turn turn turn. Na na na na turn turn turn ...
