Caption Call

I went to an assessment to dictate phone calls for deaf people. It consists of repeating everything said in a monotone, crisp voice so a computer can recognize and relay it. The lady was very nice. I passed the typing test but I couldn't do the dictation well enough. She was very sweet and encouraging. I don't think I want to do this however. When I was a broadcast journalism major I had to consciously work on retaining inflection and personality in my voice. parroting everything in monotone isn't something I desire to develop.

She gave me a number to call to set it up and try again but I don't see myself doing that for any amount of time without going crazy.

I need to hit up the store. I need some zucchini, squash and maybe some oyster sauce.
