[nfb-talk] I've Finally Found Work!

[Harmeet Sekhon]

Hello Everyone,

I'm resending this because I don't think it was sent out here properly last
time.  Please excuse it if you've seen it here before.

I'm feeling good and I've got people in the NFB to thank!
Some time ago, I'd applied for a billing department customer service rep job
at Comcast Communications.  Today, I went in to sign papers and to formally
accept the job.  I start work on August 7.  Another chip at the rate of
unemployment in the ranks of blind Americans.
 How has the NFB helped me?  There isn't any good way to quantify that.  The
best way I can think of doing it is by pointing to the reasons for the
existence
of the NFB and to our mission and philosophy.  Individuals on NFB lists have
also helped a great deal.  Many of you have offered words of encouragement,
support, and advice.  I've read the words of many who might read this, and
I've not expressed to you individually what those words have done for me
during
this job search.  They have kicked me in the pants and they have encouraged
me not to get lazy and give up.
So, I thank all of you for your support, encouragement, and advice during
these many months.  I also thank those who have been behind the scenes,
making
it so much easier with these listservs, to network with other blind people
and Federationists.
And I'll see those of you going to the 2007 NFB National Convention, in
Atlanta.  What with not having to look for work as a full time job, and what
with
having the money to go, I won't be missing it.
Thanks Again,
Harmeet Sekhon
