First Day of VRS

Today was my first full day working in the VRS center at Gallaudet. I did a reasonably okay job, except for goofing up the explanation of regional toll-free numbers and fumbling a request to transfer a call when it was extending past the time I was supposed to leave. Oh, and my first call was … Continue reading »

Design Resolved

Whew! Thanks to Dan getting my debugging juices flowing, I got the design issues on my webpage resolved. I had a lot of time to do that today; Thursdays are normally my busiest day but half of my clients weren’t there! I am really looking forward to the switch to VRS though. I’ve notified my … Continue reading »

Training at Gallaudet

Whoops, looks like I had the days mixed up…so I kind of fudged that I posted yesterday! I’ve been getting pretty slack – I still think I’ve missed less than 30 days of posting in the past three years, but many of those have been recently. Today I started training at Gallaudet for their VRS … Continue reading »

Working VRS

My job during the school year is taken care of! This morning I interviewed with Gallaudet’s VRS interpreting department and they accepted me. The interview was not easy, but I managed okay.

Actually, I have virtually no amenities; when someone needed me to jot down a note she had to bring by a pad and … Continue reading »

Changing Where I Sit

Oh good grief…they’re going to change where I sit at work, sort of. But instead of being a nice easy move from one cube to another, I am going to sit in my current space three days a week and the new space two days a week, so I don’t really have anywhere to call … Continue reading »

Annoying Blocks

My work has blocked MySpace for a long time. It’s no big deal, I don’t use MySpace much anyway. I set up my own copy of CGIProxy and it was serving me well. Today I noticed that apparently eBay and Photobucket have also been blocked, or are at least not coming up – but they … Continue reading »

Cold Calls at Work

I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this here before, but the interpreter who had my position before I got here put herself on a ton of mailing lists. She was here for several years, and I guess she thought she was never going to leave, but there was a falling out between her and the … Continue reading »
