Gregory's ServerOh hey it's me.
Working the cash register during the busiest time to do so was a huge mistake and a nightmare.
But to be fair, I warned them.
I did warn them.

 Same. Visualization is how I think through pretty much everything, but for numbers it begins to fall to pieces. Add in some short-term memory problems and it's just comically bad. The "blocks" fade away and I can't get them back. :er_aaa: So I start over from the beginning & hope like heck that I don't get interrupted or distracted in some way. Which I also warned them about. Thankfully I had *amazing* co-workers.  @ezlin I'm SO glad you have those coworkers! It makes all the difference. Also nice to know I'm not the only visualizer. My husband has aphantasia - he doesn't visualize AT ALL. Nada. Him trying to tutor me through algebra was....interesting! 😂 |
@ezlin Oh, much sympathy, I have some nightmare stories about working cash registers. I visualize everything, math is the same way, and that did NOT work with how they taught us to "make change", which just ended with the customer confused and me confused at their confusion because I didn't "count back" properly.
I count poorly but I see blocks of numbers much more effectively, so like, accept my block, will you? Lol, they did not. :)
