Yes, being a public service interpreter is a varied, interesting job, but it can be challenging when you are:
- standing in the cess pool of a court corridor for hours with all the pond life brushing past
- watching a placenta being tugged out by the cord
- being asked out by desperate males, usually alkies after two failed marriages
- dodging spurting blood, puss and flying bits of teeth at dental appointments
- being asked out by males who not only see souls but devour them or think that god is giving them a free hand to change the world
- having your hand squeezed into pulp by a patient having a biopsy
- being dragged to the police station in the middle of the night to listen to someone claim their name is Lech Walesa for three hours
But hey, if you still would like a go at my job, just learn a popular community language and go for it!
