[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 13208, member: 1991"] About the desk - can you raise the chair and then put something under your feet (like a stack of phone books)? I don't have your problem but I have others. I also have a young friend with the same diagnosis as you - she's kept her strength up by swimming a lot as she was growing up, but she's always self-conscious about her shoulders. I had one boss who was told by my agency that I was to work no more than half-days on non-consecutive days. She kept changing the rules on me and I had to call in my agency to sort it out. I eventually left - it was more trouble than it was worth. They kept changing my work area around and taking away stuff I needed, to cope. One week I was using the computer; the next week she said I was on the computer too much and I would have to hand-write (which I can't do for long and she knew it). Then she complained that she couldn't read my writing. Surely she can see the sense in using you for your abilities, and not running you into the ground doing stuff she could ask others to do with less fallout? If she can't, then I'd be moving on, too. We can often find other ways around a problem but not if someone else keeps making changes, just to see what we do. When that happens I feel like an ant under some kid's magnifying glass - whenever I move to get away from the heat, that darned kid follows me just to see what I'll do next. Good luck with this one. Hope your back and shoulders can stand the pace. Marg [/QUOTE]
