DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, February 11, 2016
-- a deaf person is on and off
DeafDigest worries about deaf fighter Matt Hamill.
He announced his retirement few years ago only
to come back and then retire again and then
come back. His next match takes place on
May 21, 2016 in Milan, Italy. He has a
contract with the Venator Fighting Championship.
Hamill is getting older, and he is not the same
fighter he was few years ago. If he continues
to fight and takes too many blows to his head,
then we know about this scary word - concussion!
His latest fighting picture is at:

-- a dumb general manager of a movie theater
A deaf woman wanted to see a movie and
asked the general manager for a portable
captioning equipment. What did the general
manager do? Gave her a portable listening
device. He did not know what a portable
captioning device was! A dumb manager?
Yes.
-- deaf Uber driver frustrations
Uber gives an opportunity for deaf drivers
to make money, but it also leads to
frustrations - customers cancel rides they
learn driver is deaf; must text customers
of his deafness; customers talk too much
and get annoyed when deaf driver does not
respond; customers pass notes while
deaf driver is watching the road; customer
suddenly gives deaf driver a change of
directions, etc. A good living with good
money yes, but also with a list of
frustrations!
