Summary

This episode is a rant. I want you to understand that before you listen. If you don't like complaining, you might want to skip it.

In episode #4, I talk about my personal experience working in a cubicle in an office for over 1o years and my battle against the following enemies: noise, a stinky office kitchen, bright lights, a painful chair, a lack of control

Formidable foes all, but no match for the ultimate solution: quitting and working from home.

0:00.0	This is the highly sensitive person podcast, a weekly podcast for people who care deeply about
0:11.6	everything. Join me on a journey to accept the way we intensely experience the world.
0:19.0	Thanks for tuning in to episode four of the highly sensitive person podcast.
0:24.6	I'm your host, Kelly.
0:26.6	Now, before we get started today, I want to give you fair warning that this episode is
0:31.0	going to include a lot of complaining.
0:34.1	If you're the kind of person who doesn't like to hear complaining, you might want to skip this episode.
0:38.3	Today's show is going to be a rant against working in an office cubicle.

0:58.0	control. The main reason I wanted to cover these topics today was because when I worked in a
1:03.6	cubicle, I felt like I was the only person who was bothered by my environment. I thought that I was
1:09.5	crazy and weird and just a big complainer because
1:13.7	no one else seemed to be bugged by these things. And I was bothered to the point of where it
1:18.8	distracted me from getting my work done. As always, the point of this podcast is to share my
1:24.3	personal experiences with you in hopes that some of you can empathize and realize that
1:30.0	you're not the only one who feels the way you feel. And get ready because I have a sound effect.
1:36.7	My Battle with Uncomfortable Chairs. I guess I'm somewhat petite. In the office chair I was assigned at my
1:43.6	previous job was meant for an average-sized man.
1:46.8	No matter how I adjusted the chair, my back and neck were sore every day.
1:51.2	It got to the point where it started to distract me from my work.
1:54.2	At my previous two jobs, I'd requested and received a new desk chair from my employers.
