HELP WANTED
Ken Layne says I need a "non-mouse hand job." Was wondering what he said to send extra traffic to my site overnight.
What's going on here is that in the past week I've started to tell people that I'm thinking about getting out of journalism for maybe two years in hopes of finding a job that would get me away from a keyboard. The reason I'm an idling freelancer is due to a repetitive stress injury in my right hand, caused by a mouse that lived in a bad workstation. Despite too much downtime and an absurd number of failed remedies, the thing has yet to heal completely. So I figured it can't hurt to consider career options that don't entail working at a computer. But the mere suggestion is met by silence by most of my friends, and others come up only with jobs that still involve computer work. I'm open to ideas. Send 'em in. (Please don't mention voice software. Tried it. That stuff is pathetic. It will be years before it really works.)
