Waiting

Call it pre-game jitters, but I think that may be the worst part of starting in the profession. Waiting by the phone is awful. Whether you're waiting on an employer, a date, or anything else.

And that seems to be the name of the game at this point. Whee...

So, as the inaugural blog post, I certainly don't want this to come across as whining.

What better profession to be in than one where you get to travel, talk to fascinating people, talk AS fascinating people (well, as their mouthpiece), and get paid while doing it? It's a dream come true! So, this blog will attempt to chronicle the impressions and experiences of freshly minted conference interpreters (and perhaps some slightly more tempered colleagues).

Enjoy!
