Complete strangers have been calling the corporate office and complaining that I'm not being friendly. We are supposed to do things such as greeting customers, and telling them to have a good day, etc. I have a sign up by my register, stating that I don't intend to be rude, but I do have a speech impairment. I put a smiley face on the sign, and tell people thankyou for shopping, and to have a nice day. I speak as loud and clear as I can, but I still sound like the town drunk.I also had to resort to pointing at the screen on the cash register to let people know what they owe (They are complaining about that too).

I'm being told by the manager to make some changes, or they will have to make some changes (Meaning I will have no more job). I got this job with the help of THE BEAUREAU OF VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION. So I will be getting intouch with my BVR counselor. I was so upset about this today, that I nearly walked off the job. I used to tell people that I don't wish this illness on anyone. But now, I wish that EVERYONE should spend one day going through what I do. It's been 2 months now, since I've been able to chew on anything. I've had this now for about 6 yrs. This illness has affected the muscles in my neck, and jaw. It's like having your jaws wired shut. Can any of you imagine, what it would be like for you to have your jaws wired shut 24/7? If anyone has any brilliant ideas please pass them along.
