That's how you make sure that you don't screw your mobility in your old age. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
Post #171,956 by inthane-chan 8/31/04 12:49:28 PM Reply	Sadly not an option. Taking a week off at my current job would end up with me getting axed for other reasons. What will we do when we are Gods?

Hopefully they will be accomodating and not ask you to run errands all day or something. :) (Remembering when I used to trek ALL over the campus of the college I worked at... man, that would not have worked with a bum foot). Take it easy, Inthane.

Get the ones with the forearm band, not the under-the-shoulder type. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
