[humanser] Intro and a few questions

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning,

I cannot speak personally as I am bienucleated but I still wear 
shades. My roommate, too, whom has his glaucoma/cataract eyes wears shades.
And, a word to the wise, Ol'Sighty, at least from what I know, 
doesn't need to see blind eyes. I mean, get some shades and be done with it!
Good luck!
I am into social work/human service here in Berkeley, California.


  touch base with throughout these experiences and possibly beyond? 
Also, my supervisor for my current experience raised a concern about 
students being uncomfortable because of my eyes. I am totally blind 
so obviously do not make eye contact and, along with that, I have no 
control over my eyes and cannot focus them, and they move all over 
the place. My supervisor asked if I have ever considered glasses. I 
really haven't considered this; I raised it as an issue to some loved 
ones once and was told they would rather see my eyes. My supervisor 
suggested I simply ask students if my eyes are an issue for them, 
which I will do, but I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts or 
experiences they can share about something like this? Has anyone 
dealt with a similar situation? Finally, I know that some people in 
my field have ways that people can report things anonymously to them, 
and this is sometimes done in writing. Though technology may replace 
the written part, I am wondering if anyone would have any suggestions 
in the event someone wanted to report something to me? Thank you so 
much in advance for any responses/help.
