Why do people in work environments always assume you're a mind reader? I LITERALLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND THAT TRAIN OF THOUGHT. It's either "You're doing things too fast" (my god, I'm too efficient!!) or "You're not doing enough" (they won't give me jobs to do though). All in all, wow, this is a frustrating work week.

Yeaaah, pretty much the only time that didn't happen was when I was in Japan. Somehow the language barrier meant that I knew exactly what everyone wanted and vice-versa. Other jobs? Nnnot so much.

Apparently part of it is that I kinda of "ignore cues" though so ... idk.

Well, even with cues, it's difficult to interpret because everyone communicates differently? Even when you know them a while, it can be tricky, even trickier in a work-based context.
