Hi, Sharon -
I'll bet you're a treat to know! You certainly have the gift of encouragement.
The job is in a FedEx call-center. It's the "door-opener" so to speak for FedEx - but the training alone is really stressful. I'm functionally deaf and wear "in-the-canal" hearing aids (Meniere's Disease plus neuro-sensory hearing loss), so just trying to keep up in class is a challenge. On the job, I would be wearing headphones which direct the sound directly into my hearing aid microphones, so it wouldn't be such an issue. Being tied to the chair/computer on a very structured schedule may be the bigger challenge - along with not being able to miss any days the first two months. Just praying for no attacks during the day! During my marriage (15 years together, separated for 5 ), I really only worked a few years at the beginning, so my skill-set isn't as broad as employers are looking for right now. I'd love to go back to school to finish my degree and / or learn some quantifiable skills - but just need to pay bills right now.
By the way, I enjoy flower arranging - have been making the table / stage decorations for a monthly graduation banquet for a drug & alcohol rehab residential program for about 3 years - one of the most rewarding, enjoyable things I've ever done. When I have time, I'd like to take a course in floral design - I'm running out of ideas! Actually, I probably won't be able to do the banquets anymore - I'm on a leave right now - because of my job. My former employer let me have the day off each month for the banquet. (That was a great job - researching destinations and helping plan / prepare itineraries at a very prestigious travel agency. Lost it ten days after 9/11).
Blessings,
Kaybee
