[nfbmi-talk] job for blind process engineer peckham

[joe harcz Comcast]

This would be a nice job for a process engineer who happens to be blind or otherwise disabled. Oops there are vision requirements and walking, and crawling requirements which shouldn't be an essential function of this job.

I also wonder out loud if all it systems used by this CRP are accessable to PWD. I sure in the heck doubt it.
