there’s an engineer in our group at work who is deaf, so a few of us take turns transcribing what gets said at meetings for her. since i’m not that chatty in big meetings, because typing and giving conversation commentary are fun, and because she’s super-nice, i do this whenever i can. in a meeting today, there was much typing, so afterwards she smiled at me, put her hand on her chin, and brought her hand down. i don’t know if she noticed the puzzled look on my face, though there was definitely one there.

apparently the asl for ‘thank you‘ and the italian hand-gesture for ‘fuck you‘ are maybe too close for a non-discerning eye to interpret.

also, is this my first work post in a really long time? it might be.
