Now that I have hearing aids I sometimes forget about my disability.... Other times they remind me how annoying they can make my life. Starting this new job and a new segment of training has been difficult.
It's something I dread having to tell people about because I'm so sensible about it... It makes me feel like I lack something I should have but don't. I have to work so much harder and watch people's lips and make sure I have the volume settings right to make sure I don't miss information. Today was probably the most stressful day I've had in a long time.
In addition to having a 10 hr stomach ache! One more half hour and then I get to home and not date about having to hear anyone or anything until tomorrow morning.
Can't wait for the weekend!!!! :)

I'm feelin 22Everyone in my training class is so young... And they all though I was their age... 22.
Haha! They won't believe me when I say I'm 30. I love it, best day ever.
Plus I get paid for having the next two days off. :)
Having a real job with real benefits and amazing ones at that just feels really great. Happy thanksgiving peoples!

This is tortureHaving to be at work by 6.... It's just so fucked up. Thank god I chose the late shift for my actual schedule after training.
I woke up at 504am and had to leave the house by 520 today. I had no clue how I managed to get my hair up, makeup on, and dressed in that time. I also made coffee and chugged done down.
I have to go tutor my student now and I'm just ready for bed. I have a headache... I'm going to bed by 8 tonight, maybe earlier. So excited to have a long weekend so I can go to the gym and relax before a long week next week. Mornings and me... We don't get along.

I don't even know if that qualifies as morning. 5:04am seems like late night to me.

Way before the crack of dawnI've been up since 326... First day of training for my new job. I have to be there by 545 today and then 600am for the next 6 weeks. This is going to take some serious discipline because it means getting up by 4am and leaving the house around 5...
Why would they have training so early? To torture us probably...
I'm already behind schedule here. I'm excited... To have a job! My car broke down on the way to the mall yesterday, which is good because I wasn't planning on leaving the house which means it would have broken on the way to work today. The tow people took 4 hrs to come tow it... And then they were not very bright an told me my car wasn't there. Good thing that all happened yesterday... I cannot stand being stressed or late on the first day!
Pre tow, full body selfie...

Feather nailsThese nails are so much work... But just so cool. I think it's my dream to own a nail shop/bar one day... I think about champagne and nail art at least 50 times a day... Now I just need like 10 yrs to save.
Some random chick at the store complimented my nails yesterday, makes all that time I spent worth it. I could talk nails for days.
I swear I brought the cold, wet, dreary weather back to Arizona! It's been gloomy here all week, but I kinda loved having my last week off like this. I've read three books... Reading makes me so feel happy and fulfilled.
I finally started up at the gym again yesterday... It felt good and I need to get up of my ass and go again today! I wonder if anyone uses the gym at work, maybe I will meet a nice hunky man there. :)

I'd assume you should feel safe enough at the company you work at to communicate the disability. A company that large should be able to make reasonable accommodations. If they know that you need to see their lips they will look at you more and make sure that you are getting everything and probably work to speak louder and more clearly.
