DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, June 6, 2015 morning
-- our certified deaf interpreters
Certified Deaf Interpreters (CDI) is a new field
that came up in past 10-15 years but did not become
visible until in recent years. This summer will witness
the first national conference of CDI's. How many
CDI's do we have? Hard to say, maybe 150 of them,
but the number is growing. Possible to make a
full time living as a CDI? No. Must hold a real
job while doing CDI on the side. Friction between
interpreters and CDI? Not surprised.
-- remembering a sub order
A deaf man was a regular customer at one Subway
place in Washington, DC. He moved out of the
area about 3-4 years ago. Only recently he
came back to the same area, and went to his
favorite Subway hang out. He was surprised
when the sandwich-maker immediately made him
his favorite sandwich - without asking.
It was the right order, thus shocking the
deaf patron. Apparently sandwich makers
do not remember hearing faces from 3-4 years
ago but do remember deaf faces from 3-4
years ago!
