More than just an annoyance: When technicians fail to put back

 

And here again is yet another big challenge for me. I know that technicians are mainly focused on fixing a problem and in so doing they simply forget to put things back where they found them.

Or, they do not put the new replacements in the spot where they removed the old ones.

Or even more, they move a piece of furniture and do not put it back.

All of this happened when the Cable company’s technician came to my condo to work on my problem. They never replaced things in the right spot. They did not put back my furniture and I went crashing into my dresser.

What to do? I am just not sure as most of them simply ignore me.

Persistent hunting: Finding the missing pen

 

As a vision-impaired person, one of the biggest challenges for me is when someone does not put things back in the place where they found them. This is what happened a while ago when someone borrowed my pen and after they left I could not find it.

So, with a deep breath I devised a little strategy. I retraced my steps and tracked every place where this person was seated. It worked like a charm!

I found my pen exactly where they had been sitting.

A lighter moment : When the rain soaked my plants

 

Oh boy, and what a mess! I had to exercise all of my patience to deal with this.

I had gone out on my balcony to water my plants and good thing that I had the presence of mind to check before pouring water into them.

The rain had come down and soaked my beloved plants; even over soaking them. Plus there was water on the floor of the balcony.

I will say that, as a vision-impaired person, it is vitally important to use my fingers to check on things before proceeding.

I decided to just leave the water to subside in the soil of my plants as it would have been too difficult for me to remove the water.

Just another challenge! Switching to a new cable box

 This is what happened a few months ago when my cable company switched to a new cable box. I had to learn how to navigate my box. I had to learn how to use the new remote.

Thank goodness that this new remote enables me to input my channel changes via voice.

The technician was helpful and then I had Sandra and Nick and Susan to complete my familiarization.

My teacher, thanks Mom! Spread out your signature

 Looking back at this now, I can only smile when Mom gently made this comment to me. She did so when Richard and Jane visited to have her and me sign some documents.

Mom sat close by and watched carefully as I signed. Then, as I was signing, she told me to “spread out your signature.” Wise words from a wise Mom!

I need to communicate! No electronic documents for me?

 And I need to find a way to make others aware that in order to communicate productively and successfully, I need to be able to send and receive my documents electronically. Some folks definitely understand but then there are those who have no clue why I am requesting this.

Surely, the world of technology has now reached and surpassed the point where there is not any problem or difficulty to produce electronic documents? So what is the problem here?

Let’s work to promote more awareness for using electronic documents.
