I agree with both Trisha and Alex, and that is not to undermine Barbara's
condition
or concerns.  I'm sure there are people that  are adversly affected by  many
aspects of their jobs.  Some are truly legitimate and SHOULD be addressed
by the
employer.  however I think there may be some individuals who would jump on
the band
wagon and persue it for all it's worth--(is this a can of worms?) hope no
one is
offended,  just MY opinion.
