Guess what… I got a new job. Serving customers. My previous jobs required the least amount of human interaction as possible, but even though I barely had to speak to anyone I really didn’t enjoy them. Last month a job opportunity cropped up which looked very appealing, but it involved customer service. It was sort of a spur the moment thing, I said ‘fuck it’ and just applied. I got an interview, I was terrified but I went, and I got the job. At first when serving customers for the first time I was physically shaking, but it got surprisingly easy after only a couple of days. Now I can talk to them without fear. I would say my stutter is only mild, but it’s the root of all my anxiety. I do stutter now and then while talking to them, especially when having to tell them the price, but out of all the people I’ve served they’ve never really seemed to take notice. This is such a lovely job I’m working and I’m genuinely finding it really fun, (and it involves me getting free cakes!), and I’m amazed I’m working this position as I thought I’d never have the courage.
