[blindlaw] Looking for employment in Georgia

[Alma]

Hi Michelle,

I have had a similar experience as a court reporter.  I am in the process of 
appealing my CCR results, so I only have my temporary.  Still, I definitely 
understand where you're coming from and am equally as frustrated as you.

Hang in there!

Alma
