I had my annual review at work and the only thing that I need to work on is staying focused and not socializing as much. Apparently I get involved in conversations more than I thought. I can listen to music and stuff, but earbuds make my ears hurt over time and over the ear headphones will drown out too much noise.

I work in IT as a help desk technician. When I’m not working tickets and doing my daily duties, I study for Microsoft certifications that I am required to get.

I’m the first tech in the office and I can get so much done in the 30 mins before others start showing up. At 8:30, my two fave coworkers show up and that’s when my focus starts to waver because I love talking to them lol. It doesn’t help that they’re the people I go to the most when I encounter work that I need help figuring out.

I’m currently on focalin and my dosage is the only dose that doesn’t interfere with my heart condition, so I don’t want that changed.

I can’t really move to another space because of how the office is set up.

    • *sometimes* open-back headphones will allow more environmental noise through than closed-back – but shopping around for something that fits your needs gets really expensive really quick
    • or there’s the DJ look – headphones over one ear and sitting behind the other ear
