little update

[Guest guest]

I think I told ya'll that I was having vocational testing done. Well, the results are all in, and it was a very positive report. My typing speed is 46wpm, with a 100% accuracy, not too shabby, though I'm sure if I was practiced, I could reach 50 or perhaps even 55. Next week I start 'QUIP' training. Don't ask me what it stands for...I don't know! All I DO know is that it is a computer training class. I believe I'll learn Office/Word/Excel, etc. VESID (Vocational/Educational Support for Individuals with Disabilities) will pay ($1800) for the course; I pay nothing. The major drawback of this is--it's Monday-Friday from 10am to 4pm! I think my fatigue level is going to skyrocket. I'm going to inform them of it (fatigue), and see if I could possibly

have an extended lunch or break. I'm thinking I could nap in my car fo 45 min of my hour lunch. The course runs from May 2 to about the 2nd week of June. Add to this, little Munchkin. I think we may need to have someone come in; play with her, and walk her. Even if it was once during the day, that would probably suffice.I'm thinking I won't be going on the computer too much during this time, not sure, but might be a bit quiet during this time.Hopefully, this will help me get a p/t job in some sort of clerical position.love to all,Kate
