[NFBC-Info] Voting

[Chela Robles]

Hey Tim Elder it is Chela.
I did register to vote today by mail.
However after checking my voter info status, under Permanent Vote By
Mail or however it's worded, it says the word no on the next line and
I've been registered since January 20th 2004 when I was still 18 since
my birthday is April 6th.
Wondering how long it takes to process the new request since I just
got done filling out the form you gave me, finished around 8PM tonight
cause I had other things to do.
Also, on another note, everyone, my job was not renewed for another
contract so I won't be working at Santa Teresa High School this coming
school year even though there are blind kids that need services that
now have been taken away. I used to be an alternate media specialist
but am now looking into finding a new avenue to explore, Accessibility
Consulting. If anyone has any openings for that, let me know. I'm in
the meantime looking into how to become an accessibility consultant
and have my feelers out. I've done the Google Research Useability
Studies and that is great if you want gift cards to get something, but
not for a steady income in my opinion but I'd love to work at a tech
firm such as Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc.
I've already updated my resume and did some refining to my cover letter too.
