[Blindtlk] Work Advice

I notice you have a V.GOV address.

If this is the case, your request would be considered a reasonable
accommodation.

Reach out to your Section 504 person for assistance.

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
