    didn't you make a deal on the student board to only be on for 30 mins a day until exams were over?! i don't think the 30 mins meant only on the student board! ;)

    I think I can have a weekend's rest after all that stress of the research project.

    You didn't say if you had completed your research project and submitted it on time!

    I'm not totally sure on the nature of your disability but I see you have problems with your hands.

    I do to, I cannot handwrite at all some days, other days I can write about six or seven lines. I've always just submitted a covering letter with any application form and written the questions out in a Word document (questions in bold, answers in standard format, size 12, legible font). No employer has ever had a problem with that.

    My current volunteer job is office-based and I just type everything, minutes I take via a Dictaphone and type up later.

    Of course there are ways around things and that is why I don't highlight all my problems at the application stage. If I did get a job then it will fall to the employer to sort out adjustments in the legal sense.

    They only need to make reasonable adjustments though Phil.

    Reasonable is a bit unclear as to what it means.

    In a job where someone helped me to do lifting and some way of getting around my slow writing to allow me to minute task are hardly unreasonable to most people.
