A picture is worth a thousand words...

Broken Filter…

My brain’s sound filter is broken today.

I can’t hear anything and yet, I can hear everything. Every little annoying sound. The lights buzzing, the heater buzzing, chairs creaking, printer sounds…my co-worker’s every single mouse click, every keystroke… Every single word of her phone conversation that’s been going on for, I swear, thirty minutes now…

But if someone standing in the same room tries to say something to me, I see their lips move and a jumble of sound comes out and all I can do is repeat, “What?” “What’d you say?” “I’m sorry, one more time…”

My nerves are so frayed…

All of this is making me so irritable.

I’m going to turn on some music and try to relax. I can only put one ear phone in at work, so I’m hoping I can at least tune out half of everything.

Also. I’m freezing.
