I used to watch Discovery Channel with my Nan when she babysat me and my sisters. They went to bed, I stayed up to watch tv with her.

My boss always makes a face at me when I try to talk to him WHEN I stutter...it's like...his eyes are this :ninja:, but his face is kinda...like''disgusted/wtf u saying/confused.


Anyway...worked 6 days in a row, last two (including today) were sch day offs, but came in anyway...for a grand total of 27 hours? Two days pretty much 5 and a half (including today) and the rest were normal 4 hour shifts. And got time and a half yesterday. Should be over $200 before taxes and time and a half hours...

Have you tried treating your stutter?

I hardly stutter anymore, just when I talk to him mostly. Guess it's cause he is the store manager...


I do have a speech problem though...and as I've said on here recently twice, my god, it happened. A person, a somewhat new co-worker, straight up said Her; How long have you been here?
Me:.........awhile
Her: 'So, you've been here long enough to be considered American?'

Other co-workers, including the one I like a lot know I've been in the South since 89....
 
That sucks, but is your speech impediment due to physical issues or psychological ones?

Um....I just never took speech therapy seriously...I'm better than when I was a kid, but people still ask where I am from. In the past few years...well, 4 years...


Got a RUSSIAN WOMAN (who is ****ing hot) confused. I swear, she spoke to me in Russian...I swear...she thought I was Eastern European, I think. Told her I believe it was a speech issue. She was...surprised. I've actually seen her shopping at my work place...never said hi to her, we only had one class in college 4 years ago...

Another woman in college thought I was like from the Netherlands and my accent was mixing with a American one cause I told the math teacher it was a speech issue or something, and her being old or whatever told the class I was from over there. I honestly do not recall how it went down.


My co-worker who I really like, ya know, thought I was English, but told her I had a speech issue. She said one of her sons do. THEN she still thought I had a English accent months later lol.

Then my fav is when I was outside work waiting to go in...using my e-cig...two guys with Eastern European accents came up to me...I could barely understand them, and I dunno if they understood me much...I asked where they were from, and the one guy paused, said I Dunno, then said Ukraine. I had to call a taxi for them so they could get on a boat...they lost their friend somewhere...oh my god...they had like...a **** ton of Doritos from Walmart. I mean like..6 or 8 large bags worth. I swear one of them was asking about a phone charger in a alcohol store...

I know this is kinda a ass thing to say, but as soon as they started talking to me and then they were talking to each other in their own dialect, I was thinking 'Eastern European, just like in all those direct to dvd action movies'

It was cool though meeting them though, when I came back from my 15 break they were gone...told them the taxi would take like 20, 25 minutes before I went in for work.

Oh....but you asked a question. Well, in my head my voice is American, but what comes out isn't, if that makes sense. Like, when I've heard myself talk on a recorder...in any case, I just gave up on improving my speech...I don't really 'turn my voice on' like I was learning how to do in speech therapy.

That's interesting: myself, I grew up with a lot of speech impediments, but now I am a fairly good speaker. Yet, a lot of people think I am from somewhere else (usually American, but sometimes British or British-educated Asian) because I overcame my speech impediments by imitating the speech patterns of characters I watched on American TV (mainly Frasier from Cheers and Winchester from MASH).
 
I picked up a bunch of old Lucasarts games and I'm trying to get them to install properly. My tech skills have gotten rusty. :p
