I don't have any problems, but I've often wondered what would happen to me if I lost my voice. I'm a 911 telecommunicator(fancy word for dispatcher/call taker), and a part-time radio announcer. I used to do the radio deal full time, so the only real work I've ever done has been talking. [/QUOTE]It was call center work where we took incoming calls from people wanting to know how we got their credit card #'s for the travel membership. You had to force your voice to be heard over the general noise, and I worked a 4-10 schedule that was a 3-2-1-1 M-W, S. It took about a year and a half before the cumulative effects manifested. Conversational speaking does not bother me, and that job was timed to the 1/100th of a second as far as your time on the phone, which had to be 80% of your total clocked in amount or your bonus ...shrank. Since I happen to be dating a 911 dispatcher right now (as long as her husband doesn't find out! [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) I am familiar with the type of schedule you have...should not cause you any probs, but you never know. There is, at this time, an actual impairment rating that has been developed by doctors of the rehabilitive school of trial medicine - came out of a case back east, just 3 weeks b4 my trial was to start. boy, was their scumbag laywer scrambling then!! I think I enjoyed his apology as much as his insurance company's check, lolol. hope that answers your q, if not, let me know. [img]smile.gif[/img]
