Re: [QUAD-L] Work

[David O'Connell]

I got my BA in Math in '72, looked for a job for 7 years and finally got hired by Honeywell in '79.  (I taught school a little in the middle but the money was skimpy compared to corporeate pay.)  I worked for HW for 25 years at which point they dumped me for cheap foreign labor.  I am a c3 incomplete and don't have any major problems with pressure sores or sediment.  Lucky I guess although I'm pretty active.  Not sure I answered your questions or not.  Oh BTW, I understand the max SSDI is around 2000 a month, although I'm still curiouys as to if that will be taxable income next April 15th.  I just started this in Jan.

Many others can answer this question as well.  I got a B.S. in liberal studies and business administration.  I wanted to work for IBM as it was a big local firm but all resumes were ignored there and other jobs.   I took a job at an ILC and worked as an advocate of kids receiving special-ed.  It only required an Associate's degree but I took it.  Fool move.  It only paid $16,500K.  That = about $7.50 ban hour.  Nonetheless I stuck with it.  Then I began having pain here and there ALL THE TIME.  I went to different Drs for 4-5 yrs and finally found out I had Syringomyelia.   I resigned from work (foolish move ... shoulda retired on disability).  My endurance now sucks along with other secondary problems later and yr after yr.    It SUCKS my degree isn't being used RIGHT NOW but I keep plenty busy!    Go to work if you can!  People whine about women on welfare yet so many quads get exactly that.  Call it Medicaid, Public Assistance or whatever ... but it's welfare and I'll get slammed here for not being P.C.!   If you know what you want to do ... reach for it!  GO FOR IT!   TIP:  DO NOT put that you are disabled on your resume.  I was green as key lime pie when I was doing mine/sending mine and made that mistake.  List only your experience, degrees, etc.   Lori   -------Original Message-------   From: Dillon Ewa Date: 03/16/06 12:58:14 To: Lori Michaelson; Quad Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Irrigants for Sludge and Sediment in FOLEY USERS   Lori I want to change subjects and ask you another question.  I have not been able to find employment not only because of our problem with sediment in my urine but mainly because of recurrent pressure sores.  I want to ask you if you were employed and what you are doing.  My repeated attempts to seek employment have been frustrated because of my skin and I wanted to learn what others are done explicit because your entry-level is high and similar to mine. I would appreciate any advice or information you could provide me Dillon C-4/5
