What’s the hardest thing about your work environment?

For me it’s the noise of conversations around me in an open office - I find it really hard to tune out. And being interrupted frequently when I’m focusing on something.

Oh, and hot desking (which I thankfully don’t have to do anymore but made me so anxious every day for years). 

I could go on…!

  • I work in a day center for people with disabilities, so we often have consumers that have extreme behaviors such as yelling, elopement, and the occasional hitting or biting. Thankfully my clients are usually mild mannered, but sometimes I have to help our our direct support professionals deal with some pretty nasty situations. That’s really, really hard for me to do.
