I've done it and it takes a lot of multi-tasking, theres a lot going on at one time. Not my kind of environment.
I just got hired on in a manufacturing facility doing something totally new so gonna give that a try and see how it goes. I would prefer to work if I can, just tired of getting the short end of the stick. Hopefully it will be more my kinda thing and will work out well. I'll be doing inspections so who knows..

Have you consulted with a lawyer Vodpop ? What does your doctor say about your ability to do SGA ?
I'm concerned that you recently applied for SSDI and are now starting a new job. Didn't you write on the application that you were incapable of working ?
If you can still work.....GREAT ! I hope that you can keep doing that for a long time to come ! My concern is that if this job doesn't work out, will SSDI seriously consider your application if they view this as applying when you could work full time.
I wonder if you would be better off calling SSA and saying, "Cancel that application, I'm going to try to keep working."
I admit I'm out of my league on this one.......Anyone else have any thoughts on this ?
