    When to disclose hearing disablilty to potential employer

    I err on the side of not mentioning hearing loss at interviews - as I want my resume to speak louder for me. While I don't mention it, I think it is fairly obvious in most (if not all) interviews that I've had because I always request captioning for a phone interviews - so I'm sure those who...

    I've had my android phone for 6 months, but I've only discovered today that I could send little puppy sticker things or hearts in a text message. Cute!

    Walk, Bike or Drive 1 mile?

    How do I know if my car has synthetic oil? I drive a 2002 Ford Focus...I just got a new used transmission put in, so I'm trying to get it to last me another year or two before buying another car. Seems like the only way to get it to last 2 years is not driving it! :)

    Walk, Bike or Drive 1 mile?

    No snow for me! I change clothes because I work in business clothes. Biking in my work clothes never goes well for me - pants get caught in gears, heels, etc. Fortunately, the bike ride is short enough that I never break a sweat. Biking in spandex is so much more comfortable and warmer. I...

    Walk, Bike or Drive 1 mile?

    Great suggestion but it is not practical for the time being. I work with a team of 6 coworkers but we all come in at different times for different reasons. One girl is pregnant, another person does early morning work. Some of them live in LA - so they already spent 1-2 hours in traffic and they...

    Walk, Bike or Drive 1 mile?

    I need creative ideas! Every night, I am left wondering if I should walk, bike or drive to work (1 mile away). I dislike all three options for different reasons. I'm wondering if is any alternative options I haven't been thinking of. I work from 7 am to 5 pm for reference (every other Friday...

    ZVRS - captioning?

    @radioman I haven't actually seen the phone in person. I don't start the job for another week. The link they gave me was the same as the link I provided in the first post. From what I read and what Evo-dragon said, this phone is not optimal for my communication preferences. I do use...

    ZVRS - captioning?

    Thanks for the responses everyone. When I was initially hired, they asked about what "device" I wanted, I gave them only one suggestion - captel phone, gave them a link and explained that I would need another line. The suggestion was given by a friend. I never stated directly in the email that...

    ZVRS - captioning?

    The answer might be obvious for others, but it is not for me. I'm still new to relay systems. I'm starting a job next month. My workforce has purchased this phone for me: ZVRS - Z-20. http://www.zvrsbusiness.com/external/pdf_files/userguide/Z20UserGuide.pdf I originally requested a...

    Phones and Employment - What do you use?

    Email and text is my preferred mode of communication, but for employment reasons, it looks like I need to learn how to use a phone somehow to communicate with the public. I got all excited signing up for IM relay systems last week and it looks like they will no longer be an option later this...

    What are you thinking about? Part VI

    -holding off on making a post in case someone browsing AD today can help me- I currently live in CA but driver's license is in PA. I don't intend on changing residency until I get a job because I still have an OVR case open in PA - OVR knows I'm in CA and they are fine with it and want to close...

    Most amount of money you've found? (in $ US)

    I found $20 today on the sidewalk - no one in sight to attempt to return it to. I have been watching too much Breaking Bad, so I cleaned it promptly. Not sure what I will do with it.

    Department of Rehabilitation

    VR has given me new hearing aids and I'm super grateful, but they haven't done much for me in terms of jobs. They gave me a schedule A letter and told me to contact them when I got a job so they could close my case. They don't seem to have an insider connections or a secret job list to help me...
