When reflexes acquired in your job are invading your daily life.

-When i was an intern in a retail, i had to fight against the urge to store the shelves during my own shopping sessions.

    I’m extremely sensitive to changes in noise levels. Whether it’s a very loud and short noise, like a door slamming, or some change in background noise, like a furnace turning on, I’m just acutely aware of it.

        I’m a sailor.

        Ships sound a certain way, even when not sailing. If they ever sound differently, you know something has happened and you’ll have to respond to it. Even if it’s just a drill, the response is the same.

        My sailing days are actually behind me, but I still get tense when I hear unusual sounds in my house or office.
