There is a certain blindness organization here in Canada that has pissed me off beyond belief today. To be fair, they've done it numerous times, but this one takes the cake, the baby, the bath water, heck pretty much everything. I am not amused. Can you tell?

@TSchulte @mcourcel I went for a computer assessment today. What an absolute shit show that was. The guy had absolutely no idea what he was doing, had to call his boss on facetime for help, sent me completely to the wrong location in the wrong area of town, and to make matters worse the guy who was a low partial absolutely stank to high heavens. He fit every stereotype of an unhygienic blindy.

@Cam @TSchulte Where was this? Disgusting!

@mcourcel @TSchulte it was here in Belleville. It was in a very nondescript dumpy office building. The office was about the size of an average bedroom. He said it was quite literally a storage room that they had converted into an office.

@Cam @mcourcel OH God, I'm sorry! I went for an an assessment today too, and thankfully I didn't have the issues you had. Did you get what you wanted though? Is t he guy a newbie?

@TSchulte @mcourcel he's a newbie to doing assessments. He took over for the guy who used to do them. Not sure where he is now, but strangely enough he went to W Ross the same time as I did. He hung around with myself, Steve Wettlaufer, and our other friends Bob and Randy.

@mcourcel @TSchulte I decided to go with a desktop, jaws, a scanner and kw as opposed to open book.

Tammy
Public

@Cam @mcourcel Why would you want a scanner when your phone will scan better and easier?

Martin from Toronto
Public

@TSchulte @Cam Because it's annoying to do it with a smart phone. I like flat bed scanners.

Tammy
Public

@mcourcel @Cam Oh I don't have a problem doing it with my phone. I guess if it's a whole document it's a bit of a pain, but I'm just used to it now!

@TSchulte @mcourcel if they would fund the meta glasses, I would get those.

@TSchulte @mcourcel if I could get them on and installment plan, I might consider it. What are they? 350 bucks? I don't have that kind of cash in my back pocket.

@Cam @TSchulte Hmm, a company might have it on affirm, but I would wait for the next itteration. Battery life isn't that great.

JamminJerry
Public

@mcourcel @Cam @TSchulte while the battery life might not be that great, all I can say is what do you expect from a 150ma battery? that is all that battery is. I am thinking they went with a very small battery so that they still looked like sun glasses without parts of them bulging out do to a bigger battery. I would absolutely love a bigger battery, but considering what is in them, it isn't all that bad. and they charge up in I think at most 75 miknutes.

Tammy
Public

@mcourcel @Cam Oh really? I haven't ever had a problem with battery life in mine. It usually lasts 6 to 8 hours before I have to put them in the case for charging.

@TSchulte @Cam really? Interesting.

@mcourcel @TSchulte @Cam i actually like my pearl cam. I just recently got that back from my ex. Don't get me wrong. I use my phone to scan things, but the pearl helps me get a near perfect scan, top to bottom, with a handy page alignment guide.

@singingnala @mcourcel @Cam I don't have room on my desk for one of those, so mine's in my closet way at the back!

@TSchulte @mcourcel @Cam I don't have a desk right now, so mine's in a packing bin. My roomy says she'll help me find a desk. It just hasn't happened yet.

@mcourcel @singingnala @TSchulte I guess with most desktops being solid-state drives now, the CPU is probably not much of a tower anymore. I'm assuming that's what I'll get. I just pretty much did the paperwork today. Dealing with the vendor is next.

Brian Moore

@Cam @mcourcel @singingnala @TSchulte wonder how many vendors are left. can only think of a couple but I haven't looked lately either.

@mcourcel @singingnala @TSchulte @bmoore123 I'm going with HT Consulting out of Hamilton. I heard they're good.

@Cam @mcourcel @singingnala @TSchulte yeah, I have done work for them but they seem to be one of the few left. did they actually give you a list of vendors?

@singingnala @bmoore123 @mcourcel @TSchulte They said they would've but I already had them in mind.

@Cam @mcourcel @singingnala @TSchulte @bmoore123 I can vouch for that vendor, I've used them since 2001. Say hi to Jill and Uli for me.

@bmoore123 @TSchulte @munchkinbear @mcourcel I will. Jill seems really nice.

@Cam @bmoore123 @TSchulte @mcourcel jill's amazing. She'll find every way to squeeze the most out of the authorized funds, she'll make the funds scream.

Tammy

@munchkinbear @Cam @bmoore123 @mcourcel And that's great because some vendors won't do that.

Martin from Toronto

@TSchulte @munchkinbear @Cam @bmoore123 Yup, we used to have a great vendor out in Toronto that would do the same thing. I miss him.

Martin from Toronto

@Cam @bmoore123 @TSchulte @munchkinbear Oh yeah, Now I remember HT Consulting. I did some training for them a few years back. Yeah Jill is great. And she pays on time, unlike good old Frontier, Lol!

Brian Moore
Public

@mcourcel @Cam @TSchulte @munchkinbear yep, it works better when the person doing the paying isn't stealing all the money

Brian Moore

@mcourcel @Cam @TSchulte @munchkinbear yes, Jill has always paid me on time. Quite quickly actually.

Munchkinbear
Public

@mcourcel @Cam @bmoore123 @TSchulte she most certainly does. I did a training thing for her with a client, I literally dropped off the paperwork and within a few hours I was paid.

@mcourcel @TSchulte because it was that or a braille display which I have absolutely no use for either.

@TSchulte @mcourcel you guys will get a kick out of this though. The shit hole office building where I went today was between an axe throwing range, and a pot shop. Probably not a good idea to visit one right after the other.

@Cam @TSchulte I can't believe they're still selling Openbook. That thing hasn't had an update ince like 2001? Mind you, nor has Kurzweil.
