Random - on the topic of oatmeal, which I typically only make on the weekends of my days off (I put so much stuff in my oatmeal I just don't have the time when I have to get up at 4:30 just to get to work by 7), I tried making overnight oats a few days ago and it was a total fail. I'm thinking of sometimes just cooking the oatmeal and chopping my nuts and dates the night before so I can just toss it all in a bowl and microwave it. But I don't know if I will have it that together once classes start next week.
Today at work I took a phone call (which I do ALL day long) and the first thing I hear is "This is a sign-language interpreted call..." ...An hour and 10 minutes later I was able to help the hearing-impaired instructor get signed in to her email on 2 devices which had been migrated to another service, with the help of the interpreter. I had to open a ticket for the rest of the things she needed help with as they weren't working. I have so much respect for sign language interpreters and the hearing impaired people they help. I wasn't even doing any interpreting but it was mentally exhausting. I'm not sure people really think about how difficult it is to have to communicate through a 3rd party, and without any audible speech involved. I was reminded how I once wanted to do that, way back when I was 20-something. I am now re-visiting that idea, along with my desire to be a polyglot... It's never too late, right?
