Wow! I am very happy for what all of you here have given me. I really do appreciate this. The description of your job search and work situations has given me allot to think about.. Perhaps this will work out for me, but I need to be prepared for some significant hurdles. I must trust in myself, that even though I will stumble through for a time, I have a good chance in making it work. I think much of it depends on my selection of a job. And yes, getting fired from s job is not the end of the world.

I have been on disability for at least 15 years. I have not had a review from Social Security yet. I have received a letter from them two times. In each case, they sent me another letter stating that I can ignore the previous letter that informed me of an upcoming review. Luck? Perhaps the pdoc that I see told them that I was not ready for a job? I do not know, but I think the review will eventually happen. I must be prepared for this. I had SS employee look up some information for me. This is when I found out that my next review is coming up in July. I will see if this will actually happen.

I am going to start out with a part time job. There is a Vocational Rehab facility that is now helping me with this. They arranged for me a meeting with a head hunting firm, meaning an agency who finds jobs for professionals. They both told me that they will support me every step of the way. Still, many jobs in the computer industry are stressful.
