Terp Life

There is the most amazing tumblr that pretty much explains my day job, Terp-Life tumblr.

I resonate with nearly every single one. It's fun to look at the amusing side of life too. I've copied and pasted some of my fav's below

When I wave at a hearing person who I thought was Deaf at my assignment

(awkward is my middle name)

I’m like

When I'm in a class where students are dissecting animals

(Or- when people are discussing bodily functions/eating with their mouth open/checking the snot on their tissue in a job and I'm pregnant-)

I’m like

When I am just about to leave for an all-day assignment and it cancels

(this hardly ever happens so when it does, it's gold!)

I’m like

When I'm in the hot seat trying to fight back a cough or a sneeze

(unfortunately due to hayfever this happens on nearly a daily basis!)

It’s like

When I'm trying to voice something, but my tongue gets twisted and I don't make sense

It’s like

When people ask me why I became an ASL/English Interpreter

I’m like

(obviously!)

Last but not least, my favourite pet hate:

When people call me a translator instead of an Interpreter

I’m like

(they are VERY VERY different things people!-- ok well maybe in the scheme of jobs they are kinda similar.)

And that is pretty much my day job, explained in Gifs. Off to work now. Toodles
