My auditory issues faded in my mid-twenties. I am forty now. I can tolerate fireworks now. I spent fourth of July on the National Mall when I was 25 and enjoyed the show. Unthinkable when I was a kid, when I spent every 4th in the shower in an interior bathroom with my gun-shy dog. Balloons don't bo...

Regarding offices, let the receptionist know who you are and why you're there, then sit (i.e., my name is X and I'm here for an X o'clock appointment"). Regarding meetings, if you are a presenter in the meeting or are very likely to be talking at some point in the meeting, sit at the table. If you a...
