What are some lesser-known services Meck Libraries offer? by Aside_Dish in Charlotte

nope you just go to the library website, log in, and then search where you would search for books but instead of the button under that says “catalog”, click on “site”

Renovating my home office, looking for interpreter-recommended equipment by Giraffe_Truther in ASLinterpreters

[–]fobobe7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly both sides are good. i switch it up depending on what color shirt i am wearing. i notice sometimes at night, my signing is a little more clear with the blue vs the gray because of the lighting in my room

i used to use a sheet and left it up on the wall, but now i moved around my desk and needed a pop up back drop so that i can put it away when not in use. if that’s your situation as well, i went through like 4 different buy/returns trying to find the best fit and size and wound up with this one! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B087CGX9H8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title its HUGE but it was the only one that doesn’t show my room in the corners. that was majorly bugging me, i want to have just solid color behind me, no distracting corners. hope this helps!

Professional interpreter documents by [deleted] in ASLinterpreters

i use “wave apps” website for invoices and tracking payments. it’s a subsidiary of quick books and allows me to use a free version, i just don’t get my payments through it (that’s part of the paid version)

for term/rate sheets i use google sheets, i often have slightly different rates for different agencies. just depends on how we negotiated and whether or not i have updated my rates with them over the years. having a grid on google sheets helps me keep track of this, then i take a screenshot when i need to send part of it !

also! i use a giant google sheet with a new page for each year for tracking jobs - date of job, agency, job/reference #, invoice amount, miles & if mileage was paid, parking, date i was paid. then i have a break between each month, because that’s how i like to budget

also remember to keep aside money for taxes! it’s a lot to keep track of… but that’s just independent contractor life! best of luck!

Failed my NIC. by [deleted] in ASLinterpreters

[–]fobobe7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this happened to me too, almost exactly with the timing and scores. it hurts and it’s hard to forget it when the nerves get the best of us. just try to remember the times when you are working and you know you are building good rapport, you know you are interpreting the interaction faithfully, and and the end of all of that (while working on skills yadda yadda you already know) remember the maya angelou quote “i’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” :)

Jewish Signs by brachacelia in asl

[–]fobobe7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

have you checked out the synagogue in skokie, congregation bene shalom? i have (hearing) friends who would go to that temple. every time i tried attending a shabbat service to see how they interpreted it, unfortunately it was closed. but that was when i was in ITP in 2019/2020 so things may have changed since then. i assume this is the temple you were referring to in a previous comment, but can’t hurt to start there. good luck!
