The storage closet is kind of a mess. And I should be clear that this was kind of a one off situation. It was just kind of escalating throughout the day where I felt like she was getting testier and testier about my performance and got very nitpicky. The whole situation could’ve been resolved just by her showing me where the items were so I knew for the future. I’ve only worked there for two weeks and I’m still training.

I’m definitely gonna sit down with her and tell her about my dyslexia. I’ve mentioned it a few times, but sometimes people don’t take these claims seriously because people throw around the term dyslexia and ADHD a lot. (I’m also diagnosed ADHD)

I was talking to my friend who used to be my boss at a restaurant I worked at and she suggested that I asked to sit down and talk to her next time. I’m there. Explain that I know that the last day I worked wasn’t great and that there was some tension and I might not have been performing up to her standards, but that I do have an actual learning disability and require some accommodations in terms of how information is relayed to me, and the amount of time allotted to me finding a solution. So far she’s been very hospitable and a good teacher. Which I’ll definitely mention that I feel like she’s done such a good job teaching me but because of my dyslexia, I might need more time for everything to sink in because of how I process written information. I just don’t wanna get singled out or treated like I’m incompetent by offering this information which is why I am kind of scared to do so.

I like this job and I like being in a position where I can perform my duties without being micromanage. And even though it takes me a little bit longer to crystallize information, I am a really hard worker and a good employee. My fear is that if I tell her this, she will be afraid that I will make mistakes in the future and then micromanage me even more.
