An ex-UNIX Systems Administrator for a university... a very high level of stress and carpal tunnel (that required bi-lateral surgery in '03) burned me out to the point I cannot work anymore. I opted for a (very) early retirement, not of my own choosing. I try to keep my stress levels low, though living on a severely limited income causes its own stress. I love fiber arts (knitting, spinning, sewing) which helps keep my hands limber and active, as does drawing, beading, and other random artsy endeavors. I have a live-in partner and 2 cats. =}
