Making your day longer

men in discussion at an event

Had a long day today, made longer by people who interpret over you when you're supposed to be the main interpreter. One of them is a control freak so can't help it, they try to control everything not just your interpretation...

I'm a pretty patient guy. It takes a lot before I have to say something, so when I do, it's usually pretty bad. I don't like doing that cos it puts me in a bad light, but to be honest I don't really care about that either. Haven't cared about that for a while now and it's much better.

Anyway, treat it as a reminder why you never interrupt someone interpreting, especially when you have nothing to add (hint hint).

ENJOYED THIS? HAVE MORE.
