Interpreting CBT
Today I interpreted day two of the first-ever Community Bootblack Training. Yesterday there had been two deaf participants, but today there was only one – the guy I mentioned a few days ago. The job itself was fairly easy and I wasn’t bothered by going – but I haaaaate being away from :A: so much. … Continue reading
Baltimore Eagle Contest 2006
It has been a long day. Because Mr. Baltimore Eagle 2005 was deaf, they needed an interpreter all day. So in the morning I interpreted the contestant interviews in a quiet, nearly empty bar. I was a bit surprised to see my company’s HR director was a contestant! He and I chatted a bit before … Continue reading
NutriSystem and More
I’m going to quit Diet to Go for a month and try NutriSystem‘s all-vegetarian diet. It doesn’t have as much variety and the food isn’t fresh (you don’t even have to refrigerate or freeze any of it, although you do buy your own fruits and veggies), so I probably won’t stay on it for a … Continue reading

Temperature Video Offensive
Am I the only one who finds Sean Paul’s “Temperature” video offensive? It’s not the bouncing boobs, it’s not the freak dancing, it’s not even the dancing kiddies (much) – it’s the stepping on women. Literally. I don’t consider myself extremely feminist, but this video is the most sexist thing I’ve seen on TV. There … Continue reading

I seem to remember that when tiered accounts were introduced I was upgraded to a Premier account for free – this was probably a few years ago. … Continue reading

Interview Questions
I asked to be interviewed by kgola and here are the results! My earlier offer to interview others still stands – just post a comment. These questions are partly about sex, so my parents should probably look the other way…
Mr. Misogynist
Remember this guy? I’ll be seeing him again on Saturday. I have to admit I am scared. I heard this weekend that he’s not very professional, and the person hiring me wants me for the important stuff and him for the lesser stuff, but I’m worried. I’m also a bit worried that all of my … Continue reading
