Sherry; Good luck with your interview. What is it that you are looking for a job in? I work in the secretarial field. they now call me a Grants clerk I am a GS5.7 in the Federal government. When I started, in 1985, I started out as a GS3.3, Schedule A, under the Higher the Handycapped. All I did was just phones, when I started. After 19 years, I have proved to the government that the blind can do a lot, lot more. Long ago, an employee, in my office, tought me how to do windows. He became a great friend and gave me away in my wedding. When they needed someone for a large filing project, we put together a cover sheet and used very large print and check marks to communicate with the employees. We also brailled all the labels on the files. I also escort, shred, resycle, care for some of the equipment on the floor, xerox, help with supplies, keep a folder of who is out and a braille notebook of imfo on each employee. Hopefully some of this imfo will help some of you new job seakers out there. Feal free to e-mail me if you mant. Terry Powers By the way, my sight is getting worse, so I am slowly converting to all braille. That is why I love my BT but I sure have a lot to learn. I will bring it to convention. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So I will be traveling with my BN and using it for email and all the rest. i have recently started a live journal at www.livejournal.com and i was wondering if anyone knows if that site works with the BN. I've got version 5.1 still.
