Migraine

If so, what's your secret? I feel like I've entered this same questionnaire about 7 times now, my brain is so fuzzy that typing is a joke. (ha-ha!) If so, what's your secret? I need to analyze this data set, but I can't get it into the darn computer.

I'm about to scream. Trust mee, you'll hear it!

Jamie,
took me 12 minutes to type that quick reply to Eileen. Im also in a migraine. I know what you mean. Dang fuzzies! I cant even imagine doing data entry I'd be screaming too.

Hugs...

Oh geesh!

Not that I was using them for rescue - but I mean my job is - well "data entry" billing, collections, whatever you want to call it -

and when I had my shoulder problem - I came back to work to early and was still taking Vicodin while working - yeah I got nothing done. I pretty much stared into space for 8 hours of the day. REAL productive right! LOL

That's what happens when the boss says they NEED you back and you are not ready! (I was going to take an extra week).

So I feel your pain - it's not easy at all!!!!

Good luck!

Thanks for commiserating with me, Bim and Eileen!

Would you believe I'm still stuck on the same questionnaire?

I've found a way to at least get some information in- I say the values out loud and then type them.

But I have to close my door for that- and I can't do that- especially looking sickly- don't want people asking my boss what's up with me, and thus getting reamed for it later.

So, I'm whispering the numbers out loud. If anyone heard me, they'd think I was absolutely a lunatic. But, what can you do with "Ms. Poundy-head" going at me.

I'm happy that I can have my frova refill tomorrow and have the insurance pay for it! Until then, dumb as a rock Jamie is here in her place.... until the fioricet wears off and I can take the percocet and feel okay.

Data entry can be a real picnic. I'm lucky in that most of our computer-entered data for our class at school is of the ongoing tally sort, so that I can put it off if I'm too out of it. In a pinch, though, if anything had to be in right away, I'd either read it off to Deb and let her type it, or I'd have her read it off to me. It's the back and forth part that throws me the most when I'm fuzzy. Getting rid of the visual ping pong part of things helps. Glad you found a trick.

I have not found a way around the migraine dumb (whether from the migraine, the postdrome, or the meds). I'm usually just sitting at work staring at my computer for 8 hours. I'm out of time off for the year, so I don't have much choice!
