What else is new? Strange behaviour by my screen reader

 I can honestly tell you that there are days when being blind/vision impaired has its good moments, its strange or humorous moments and oh, yes!  Smiling moments!  This one was no different!

For about a week or so, my screen reader was behaving quite strangely.  It would only read certain parts of the screen to me.  It would not catch important messages or alerts and read them to me.  In short, it was sure behaving very strangely.

I tried everything, from rebooting, restarting, re-configuring, and much more.  I was just about ready to throw the poor old screen reader out of the window when my technician, Shane, came by for a visit and saved the day for both me and screen reader.

At the end of the day, it came down to something very easy to fix.  For some reason, and it may probably have been my error, the screen got disoriented or it was not showing correctly.  Or rather, it was sideways!  This being that the text and images were all showing up sideways.  It took Shane seconds to fix it for me. Just a few key strokes did the job!

Ah, yes!  Another day in the life of me and my screen reader.
