Thanks for the information about the 3100 fix.

Re: where is Fisher?

Greetings Jerry,

I work from 8 am to 5 pm EST. For more than a decade I worked from

home.

For the first three years of that, it was as a mobile worker (visiting

customers, etc), and occassionally returned to the office. The past 8

years

has been exclusively a work from home environment. Due to excessive

symptoms (increased ataxia with even a short commute) and the amount of

time

required to recover (hours), travel to an office is no longer possible.

God is gracious. I am a true knowledge worker. As a Systems

Consultant, I

provide HP OpenVMS Systems and Software Support for Business Critical

customers. Though dealing with stressful situations decreases my

ability to

work, customers still need my background, experience and expertise.

What I

can do rarely ever requires face to face communications.

So, once again, God guided me to the right place at the right time --

even

when it first appeared to be a 'last resort' position. About seven

years

ago, after repeated warnings from me that precluding me from selling

services would dry up a 4-10 million dollar revenue stream, I was forced

to

stop developing business opportunities. Six months later, the day after

Christmas, my manager informed me there was no longer enough business in

our

area to keep me with the company. DOH! Anyway, I got on the horn and

called in some favors (which I rarely do). I was finally able to find

another position in the company, which required a step down in level in

the

company. It felt as if it was a 'last resort' position, but I decided

to

make it work. This was before my symptoms were fully present. I knew

something was up, but we had no idea what it was.

So, here I am in the only position that would work for me. It was VERY

stressful getting here. I essentially lost my job. But found a new

position two weeks before termination. God is gracious, indeed!

Yes, your brother would miss his job. You might suggest volunteer

positions. His ability to plan and help guide projects is sorely

required

in may volunteer projects. For instance, Habitat for Humanity would

LOVE to

have him help guide their way through interactions with local

governments.

Since it is a volunteer position, he should be able craft the position

to

fit his unique needs.

Due to the disability leave, he should check with his insurance company.

Most accept some part-time volunteer work.

My daughter is headed to a small college in the foot hills of the

Appalachian Mountains. Sorry, I prefer not to get more specific than

that.

However, the college appears to go out of its way to help integrate

students

into their school system. It should be a good experience.

Regards,
