Some people just don't know how to do their job, and right or wrong, we end up doing their job for them. In another circumstance, such as a call to customer service, I believe in interpreting more faithfully so that the sign language caller can real…
I’m seeing two issues addressed in this post. One of them is whether or not the largest provider should be able to ask the FCC to create more stringent policies at video relay centers to help deter fraud and abuse of the TRS fund, and whether these…
I'll agree on the levels thing. Why did they bring those back? Using a standardized test to determine whether can someone can interpret a language is challenging enough. I think that having the levels just makes it worse.

OK, I have been up all night with insomnia and I have been watching the movies in the wrong order. I love that you sneezed for emphasis at one of the most important parts. Thank you for calling our attention to it in such a clever way! Anybody who h…
OK, I want the whole video relay world to pay attention to this, even though it probably wasn't the point of the video: Gina put her hands down between the rings. Physical therapists love this! Why load your shoulders and neck and upper back muscles…

I agree on the linguistic skill thing. Someone where I work brought up the idea of using CDI's on a split screen system so that they can serve multiple centers from remote locations. Also, they would be ready to go at a moment's notice, whether you…
Thank you for somehow managing to figure this out and put it up here for us to see. I don't mean to complain, but it's all getting so complicated. My brain feels twisted. That guild idea sounds a lot clearer. I don't know if they are doing this to d…
