I have my dream job, actually, working at a bookstore. I've been there only a couple months or so now, just because the last book company I worked for went under, so I'm still adjusting to letting everyone know about my phobia and panic attacks. But I certainly end up around sickness, especially in the winter and around the holidays. I've made sure to let them know that I am most certainly NOT cleaning anything like that up, and that if it happens and I'm at the other side of the store, not to ever, ever let me know it happened. I've had a couple severe attacks already there and they've been as helpful as they can be, so I'm thankful for that.

When I was younger I thought I might like a job in the medical field, but after I started getting a bit of emetophobia I knew I wouldn't be able to do it. I'm glad I didn't, too, because as the years pass it just gets worse and I'd never have been able to complete training, much less actually get a job in something like that.
