[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 27644, member: 2672"] same could be said of people in a vacation scheme in an office though. How do you know the person that comes into an office isn’t exhausted because they didn’t sleep because they share a room with people who kept them awake? Or the person who is holding down their part time job over the weekend? Or the person who commutes on a train for two hours each way each day? What if someone has some form of ADHD while another doesn’t? The key to all of this is COMMUNICATION! Explain your circumstances to those you are working with. Explain the difficulties you face - they will have their own. They are generally normal human beings who have experienced their own shit to deal with in life - they get it, and will understand. But you have to explain it to them... Also... Find ways to make the difficulties work better for you (eg start early, work late, work around people you live with). Look for solutions - unless we are still in complete lockdown, there are likely to be places you can work from. Can you find a key worker who needs someone to look after their dog/pet during the day? Could you use their flat/house to work from? Can you find a relative/friend to live with for the period of the time of the internship where things might be quieter/more productive? Can you use a cheap co-working space (and if so, can the firm cover the costs of it)? Can your university provide support? Can the firm provide support? You’ve got to take the approach of thinking, what if we never go back to working in offices. How would you adapt/survive then? [/QUOTE]
