Sometimes I think to go back with earlier job but I am in dilemma. What you do for your leaving?
I am currently teaching English abroad (meaning outside the United States, which is where I'm from). My job requires very little typing, but as I said before, I am still in bad pain most of the time. Even grading papers causes pain in my upper arms and neck. I came here hoping that the relatively low strain job would give my body time to recover, but instead I am still just keeping pain at bay.

Have you gotten into Dragon at all? It's the leading voice recognition software on the market. I complain about it a lot, but frankly without it I would no longer be able to use a computer. I basically just use it for dictation, but it's powerful software, with lots of features and commands. Technically minded people can make it work pretty well for them, especially if their jobs are repetitive in nature.
