jobbity job job job

If only communicating with deaf people was always this easy....well, if it was 1) id spend a lot more time in the deaf community, and 2) i wouldnt have a job....meh, win some lose some.

So i started work yesterday. Well i started training for a new job. First time ive done this in quite awhile and its about like everything else. In my head prior to starting i think it is going to be the greatest thing ever. Immediately after starting i remember how much working is not fun. And i also immediately think i am the best at it. In my previous warehouse job this happened and it resulted in burnout. This time however, i realize that this is what is best for and that it will provide a more stable and less stressful home life for me, and my new family. So off to work i go like im a lil munchkin in a funny hat with a sleeping princess who's slipper needs to come off at the house......

The job is kinda cool and for now it is challenging. It seems like ill be able to multi task while at work once im good at it. Basically what ill be doing after training is waiting for deaf people to make phone calls on a captioning phone. The deaf person talks into the phone which goes to a regular hearing person, and i listen to the regular person as they talk back with the deaf person. I then instantly repeat what i hear the person saying (i cannot hear what the deaf person says) verbatim and it goes into caption on the deaf person's phone. This sounds a bit easier than it is because the program that translates me into caption is very sensitive and it takes really good annunciation and some typing, and just learning a few other tricks. That plus learning to speak instantly as somebody else continues to speak. Its a bit challenging but once i have it down, i think it will be relatively easy, and there is downtime between phone calls in which we can read books or whatever, so i will have time to do my homework, which will be nice.

Poker is still not existent in my life. But the plan remains the same, except im seriously considering seeing if there is interest in staking me at first so that i dont have to put near as much, if any of my own money down. Im pretty sure this wont be a problem, and if it is, no big deal, ill just save up my deposit.

So that is that, and ill be posting another non poker content poker blog here shortly
