All About the Lights

I've made it three days! I think I'm adjusting alright. While I'm getting trained, a funny thing happens inside of my head. I start off focused and ready to learn. I get a bit frustrated and overwhelmed with the knowledge. My attention starts to wan. I day dream a little bit. I feel like a kid on the softball field getting distracted by flowers. It's a conscious effort to stay focused. I can feel that moment when I could fall of the cliff of "listening and learning"because I literally feel myself catching 'myself' by the shirt collar and pulling me back into absorbing mode.
Also, I really don't like fluorescent lighting. The noise can be quite bothersome. Like... a TV that's still on but the screen is black. I doubt that anyone else notices. It's probably just a weird quirk that I have. One of MANY!
There is something quite different from when I worked in an office before though. I believe I've learned to shut off when I clock out. I don't think about work at all. Either my abilities to compartmentalize have become outstanding or I'm becoming a sociopath. I just remember being full of anxiety and stress when I got home, years ago. Or worrying about a heavy workload day. Of course, it is just my third day, but still. I'm usually filled a lot more with anxiety. Either with doing good work or impressing people or whatever. Not so much this go around.
.....  maybe I'm just growing up. UGH, that's depressing.
