I hope your down day doesn't last too long.
I suppose many of us could look back at the time that life "changed" for us....
It's like the old saying " If I knew then what I know now ..."
If I knew I would end up with a chronic RSI/TOS condition -maybe I wouldn't have worked so darn hard on the assembly line - or I could have applied for a less physically demanding job.
Easily could have been a leadperson or supervisor - but I really enjoyed being part of the team.
but then again.. much of it came easy to me until I got hurt
