<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My whole life has been affected because of choicing this
profession. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My orthopedic doctor has said never to carry bags of books
back and forth to work - they weigh fifty lbs. Use one of those grocery
carts, so don't I look like an idiot wheeling my cart into the school.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>He also wrote a prescription requiring that I have a chair
with a high back and arms for working at my desk and the computer which he school
had to honor.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>After 20 years in the profession, I am now wearing very
strong bifocals due to the hours I spend on the computer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I also have found out that I am allergic to molds and dust
mites both found in books.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have had whole television carts with TVs fall on me and
strain my neck.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In addition another thread that could come out of this are
the number of clothes that have been ruined on the job and the physical attacks by
children and the fights I have broken up (including one attack by a
teacher).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>What seems like a quiet and safe profession is far from it
but there is never a dull moment.</FONT><BR><BR><BR>Gail Wellman </DIV>Roosevelt
