My husband reads a lot on this board as he has RA and you provide him with a lot of laughter. We are glad that you feel so inspired to work. I think it will be the medicine you need . RA as you will know fills your entire life with problems. My husband worked for years and then had to leave due to ill health. He got better slowly but always felt the RA was like a weight on his shoulders. When he went back to work he was scared, excited but it gave him the purpose in life he needed.
I see a change in him so great that it is like having a new husband ( maybe not a bad idea
Good luck. I would love this to work for you
That's exciting! And even if nothing pans out this time it's great to have the experience to know you can always go after something else. I wish you all the luck! I agree a job might just get your mind off of things. I know the busier I am here the less I think about or feel my RA. I actually feel worse on the weekends. I'm glad you are feeling so good!well.. there you go!!! feeling like a spring chicken and a working one at that!!
never back down from a challenge!!
go, joonie.. I wish you the best....
Joonie, I think a part-time job would be WONDERFUL for you! You'll get up and move around, have more "adult" interaction, some spare change in your pocket, plus a discount at whichever store you work! Win-win!
Joonie, I'm so happy that you're feeling better. One never knows from day to day how they'll feel, so why not do what you want to. Find a job and don't look it as a failure if you have to quit. You interviewed, was hired, and that's all the further you need to think. Take it one day at a time, like you do RA. Remember if you have to quit you didn't fail, the medication did. You'll do what you need to do. Hugs, Lindy
i am so excited for you joonie. please keep us posted! you have so helped me in this pain process. congratulations! it is all good!
Thanks everyone!
Now... I just wait to see if anyone calls me in for an interview.
I am kinda hoping I get the home depot job... because they have self checkout and the most I would have to do is touch a screen or pull a trigger.... and I am sure I can get at least one finger out of 10 to touch a screen or pull a trigger when my hands are not working well.
Our walmart is remodeling and I found out yesterday they no longer have self checkout *snaps fingers* I would not be able to bag a gallon of milk. I cannot pick it up it is too heavy for me. There are a lot of things I cannot pick up. I was hoping that I would have gotten to be a self checkout cashier. Oh and I also applied for a people greeter and to run the fitting room area.
Like I have said before... I have a little over a year before my son goes to school. We need to send him off to preschool so he will be better prepared for kidnergarden. And the only way we can afford that is for me to get a job. PLUS, I will need something to do while the kids are in school and hubby is at work.
My mom wanted me to see if I could find a job to do over the internet. I do not think there is anything I am qualified to do on the internet. Except maybe do eBay. Like do a little home business of selling hard to find items. But that takes a lot of running around and time. I told her if I do not get hired by either of those companies that I would try to do eBay and she was going to have to be my side kick
I told hubby if I got a job I would try to be more proactive about getting rid of my flares. Meaning I would call my RD for pred flare tapers more often. Then he laughed and said so I could bite someones head off for asking me where something was all the while stuffing sugar sandwiches in my mouth and spraying them with sugar as I am yelling at the customer
Soo... that is the plan or objective.
I can always go back to work for my former boss. She keeps asking me to come back to work for her. And I know she is willing to pay me /hr including tips. But that job is over 20 mins away. And I would spend all the money I made on chinese food
