[Blindtlk] Work Advice

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning,

         In my experience, Ol'Sighty as I like to call him, simply 
doesn't appreciate the difference between A human delivering print 
material to us, versus the broad, unrefined means of taking in 
material via a computer. It is sort of a similar thing with taking 
tests at school, with  their  forever insisting on my using the 
computer to read and fill in test questions on the computer.
Correct me if I'm misunderstanding your problem, but information 
displayed in these contracts call for a more refined and sellective 
reading of information and not a thing where you take in entire pages 
of material without being able to moderate the information?
for today, Car
