[nabop] Introduction

[Jessica Diaz]

Hello,
My name is Jessica and I work as a customer care rep taking orders for the federal government and US military. It is a great job and I really enjoy it. I don't exactly like that the call center is only staffed by blind people  but I guess that is life. Anyways, welcome to the list and I hope that you find lots of good information here.
