When something goes wrong in a show, it's actually the best time because you learn from it. You ask yourself 'what can I do better?' When everything goes OK, you don't ask yourself that question --- ANKY

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#GS the special phone line is actually good( i have friends that are deaf) it pumps out paper with what you said on it. There is a special person with the phone comp that does the translating for the 2 talkers.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#GS - yep! when i worked for a taxi co. years ago taking the calls, we sometimes had to "middle person" call us - it was kind of odd how the conversation goes...they call, the operator asks you to wait until she knows what the deaf person is looking for, the operator asks you & types your response for the deaf person(or i should say hearing impaired!) to read, then you have to wait for their response....it's kinda neat!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
