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.

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

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.
I got an A- in my science class. Had I been better about keeping up with in class discussions it could have been an A, but with all the drama in my house over the last month, I let my participation slide.
I have a math class starting next week - so nice to have a week off between classes. I haven't taken a school break in a long time. Ahhhhh.
I guess I needed that nap. It was about four hours, for those of you playing along at home.
Do you wear wrist braces, Teppy? the caption editors here, who type and mouse all day long, almost all wear these: [link]
They really help.
