My roommate keeps setting up appointments for various and sundry people (ie; the Telus guy, the cable guy, etc.) to stop by our house and fix things. But she sets them up for times that she won't be around, and then asks me to wait around the house and let them in. For a while I did it, but I just decided today that she can bite me. I told her I don't have any plans for tomorrow yet, but I'll probably sleep through when the Telus guy is expected to come (8 am!!!). And I sleep with earplugs.
I hope she gets the hint.
I had one of those days where you realize why you've chosen the career you're in. I interpreted at the Pride Day concert today, and our Deaf audience kept standing up with the interpreters and signing the song along with them. It was really fun and joyous and really moving. I feel a really good sense of rejuvenation in this job. I think I got jaded over the summer.
I also got sunburned over the summer. They should have more PSAs about sunscreen.
Or they should have more PSAs like this:
So good.
