Just wanted to make a light post so we can all get a good chuckle. I'm currently in the ALJ phase and will be meeting with potential lawyers next week and I'm a little nervous due to my age (37F). I received my SSA file yesterday and aside from several specialists and their notes missing from my file (along with several other errors) I couldn't help but laugh when I got to the VE portion.

"Shaker". Shaker?! What the heck am I shaking? Salt, martinis, my booty? 💃🏻 My husband was like "isn't that a religion? And don't they build stuff?!" 🤣

And yes I did look up the code and it's a "garment shaker" whose job is to shake out wet clothes, etc. Still 😅

Please share any jobs the VE has recommended for you or a loved one that you couldn't help but 🤨.

Serious question: due to my "age, education, and RFC report" the VE classified me to "light duty". If my last job position I worked was "sedentary" (admin assistant in a dental office) and I couldn't even continue doing that due to my physical limitations, how will that play out? I have plenty of documentation from several specialists that back up "sedentary" at most with several limitations.
