: My job has offered me the chance to go through to training to become a rental agent. It means benefits and a pay raise. Yeh!!!! But(there's always a but)it means lots of time in front of a computer and lots of writing. Boo!!!!!! They too worry that my hands won't be able to take the stress of all the computer work. I told them I'd do it. Go through the training and then we'd see. I just don't know if I could go through being let down by my hands not holding up. Sometimes what little typing I do on the computer bugs me. Do I take the job and not say how much I (might)hurt for the sake of the money and benefits? Or do I spend the rest of my days in some return lot smelling jet fuel all day? What to do? What to do?

I do like what I'm doing now. I meet some nice(as well as real jerks)people from all over the US and abroad. I am outside all day and get some sunshine. But I'm also outside at 15+below. Work I'm pretty sure will not put in for voice recognition (they're too cheap). One reason I'm thinking about this is the raise and benefits. But is a raise and benefits worth the pain. One good thing about being in the lot is if my hands do get to the point that they hurt like hell I can cry outside cause I'm alone out there. Plus if my meds make me sick I've also been able to do that in private. I've had massage therapy early on in this even had one guy at the airport try some sort of pressure point thing (that's how desperate I get sometimes). Training doesn't start till the 22nd of the month so I've got just alittle more time if I decide to back out.
