JacobyD Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi Michelle.Yeah, that's my "sick" humor!I gave stand-up a try in Ft. Lauderdale when I was in college. Fun, but I liked being a computer geek better It's all yours to use as you please. I'm hanging in there. Day by day sometimes. Hope you (and everyone here) are doing well.

shelby Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Okay, this brings up a funny story to me. When I was applying for disability they give you jobs you can do with your condition. They told me I could be an amusement park operator. Standing there and then passing out on the tracks, getting ran over does not sound like fun to me lol. The other things I can think of are a race car driver, although I would like to date one (GO JR). A stand up comidian. A bowler, I have passed out down the lane once. That is all I have.

TexasGrrl Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Bank teller. Blackjack Dealer. Shoe salesman (bending down a lot!). Store stocker. Jewelry store salesperson. Car salesman, esp. during the summer. Hostess at a restaurant. Bartender. Tour guide at a museum. Cafeteria worker. Postal worker.At various times, I've considered most of these but for obvious reasons.. no! I actually used to be a checker at a grocery store when I was younger, long before I was diagnosed. I was pregnant, too! Fortunately, I ate tons of pickles while I was pregnant, which made my ankles as big as fenceposts, but probably helped me feel half decent... and the checkout stand had a little place for the checker to help bag that was right by the place where ya stand, and since there were never any bags in it, it was a perfect place to sit down when I got to feeling a bit woozy.Sure makes ya begin to wonder what we actually CAN do! Me, I do mostly computer stuff, so that's a relief! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Sawicki Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hey, I used to be a jewelry store salesperson. Probably one of the easiest jobs I've ever had, though I had it before I had POTS. Now I work 3 days a week in a library...that is one job we can do! LOL! It is quiet and non-stressful and I sit down most of the time. Maybe we need to make a best job for POTS people post...? Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
