An interesting Day

As an Interpreter sometimes when I work with hard of hearing people I feel ignored. I try not to let it get to me. I know I still need to do my job to the best of my ability even if the client is reading the persons lips more than they are watching me. One day started out to be one of those days and then an interesting thing happened. The battery in the hearing aid lost its charge. On a positive note, I last longer than a battery. I was paid attention to and felt like I "earned my keep" as it were. If this seems a little self centered, I realize it probably is; however, this is a blog about feelings and not realities. It sure made for an interesting day.
