Health~ma to your dad, Matt.

Two solid puddles of scented candlewax and a mummy holding a basketball.

Trying to influence the NCAAs through arcane means? (And could you help the Tarheels while you're at it?)

I'm glad you can still do that, though. I've had my RSI long enough that using pen and paper actually hurts more than using accommodated computing equipment. Even though it was the opposite when I first got this stuff.

Of course, this is "do as I say not as I do", but it would probably help to get voice recognition at home. You'd be saving hand energy for work, then.

We got a little bonus this year (I guess it's good it came right when I was being laid off, at least), and the first thing I spent it on was getting an upgrade for iListen. I bought a PC just to run Dragon Naturally Speaking but I hate PCs so much that I hardly use it. I hope I can train iListen better and get into the habit of dictating at home. Especially because using the laptop in bed hasn't been the most ergonomic thing for me...

I hope it works out for you, Teppy. I can certainly sympathize with negotiating the treacherous shoals of a disability at work.

Would you be able to use a wacom tablet and pen to do this?

I lurve my Wacom tablet and can't survive without it. I'd recommend the discontinued Intuos 2 over the Intuos 3, though. The Intuos 3 is less ergonomic.

I can certainly sympathize with the treacherous shoals of negotiating a disability at work.

Well, this is so fraught, because it only started after we switched to an all-electronic system that many of us strenuously objected to *before* the switch, and RSI was one of the reasons. And the official response from The Higher-Ups was basically "Oh. Well, you're going to have to make this change anyway."

And did I mention that the decision to make this change came from people who don't actually do what I do, and have NEVER done what I do, so they have no idea of what it entails?

Assclowns.

Is that the sequel to William Shakespeare's GAY BOYS IN BONDAGE?

Steph, does ADA have a company size requirement? And is your office big enough?

It has to have 15 or more employees, and fortunately we do.

Excellent. I was afraid it was fiddy.

grrrr. I'm very sorry, Teppy. If I could stuff Oreos through the monitor to you to brighten your day, I would.

(Someone brought Oreos in for my team. According to the Ancient Occult Tradition of Oreomancy, JZ will find a dress for me, and tomorrow will, indeed, be better for all of us.)

Oh yeah. I saw the same mindset at CNET. Too cheap ass to get a voice recognition site license...then employees started getting RSI like it was going out of style. The voice recognition and accommodation up front would have cost them less than the lost work time, worker's comp settlements, and loss of trained workers did.

But somehow MBAs never learn this stuff.
