The blind leading the blind

I've come to realize that it's the little things I have to figure out when working for a blind man.

Question:How many times can I hand him stuff that I've printed up, only to be called back into the office for him to ask me, "Are these right side up?"
Answer: Every single time I hand him a paper...Whoops!

We've decided to put a paper clip on the top/right corner of the paper until I can remember how to hand him the papers. *2 thumbs up*

Oh wait a minute. I know what you're thinking... "Why does a blind man need papers? He can't read em!"

Well, you'd be right, but he has some nifty stuff to help him along. He scans the papers on his scanner and it goes right to his laptop. Which reads him the stuff. Technology is amazing.

Here's another thing I forget... When I walk in, I need to announce myself so he knows I'm there.

Him: Who is that?
Me: Whoops! Sorry, It's me.

Today I typed up a Jury instruction paper and instead of putting in the word 'such' I typed 'suck'. Glad my sister proof-read that before handing it in. Whoops!

Like I said, it's the simple things. Notice how my word of the day seems to be Whoops?

Now, let me get to some of the Pros and Cons of working for a blind person.

Pros:(Some of these can only been done when the other lawyer who can see, isn't around.)

• You can roll your eyes all you want.
• If you feel like flipping him off. Go right ahead.
• He's prime prank material. Move something to where it shouldn't be and watch the fun. (I'd never do that though *adjusts her halo*)
• If you're staring at him, Who cares.
• As long as the sound is down you can watch porn while he's standing right next to you.

Cons:

• He can hear everything. You know how when one sense goes the others get sharper? Well, there ya go.
• The fact that when he's talking to you he's looking anywhere but your face.
• The fact that I want to laugh hard when he's looking one way and calling out to me and I'm the other way.
• That I have to drop whatever I'm doing to help him. Cause for heaven's sake, he's blind!

Here's one that I'm not sure where to put.

• When he says, "Here, let me see that." I can't help but laugh.

I'm sure I'll come up with more to add the longer I'm there. These are just a few for now.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying my job and both of the lawyers are very nice and so laid back that they're fun to work for. Gimme a few months though, I'm sure I'll change my tune.
