Don't taken for granted

Ya know what?

My mom is a big on "talking to EVERYBODY". Doesn't matter who... men, women, children, black, white... No matter. She talks to anyone. My mom told me that she spoke to one lady in ladies room. While mom washing her hands and the woman using curling iron to re-fix her hair. That lady was a manager by day and witress by night working the same resturant for 17 years and she's a single mom.

I was like... Oh boy! Don't take things for granted. I'm having luruxy life, right now. In fact, I'm off all week and going to pratice at the play. So far, I work one day a week and again next week. Oy! (Thank You, to dear God)

Speaking of pratice at the play... I went to pratice same scene... and I said "damn" again... when I suppose to say "freezing" Ugh! But afterward, I got it. I have to be careful.

Last Saturday pratice, it is different scene. I didn't memorize this time. I read from the book. Just like everybody else is doing it. Now I know what to memorize and this time I know I'll get it right.

Oh here's the funny part, There's crone voices and... doctor voice. Right after I said, "Good-bye, Annie" The Doctor is suppose to say the next line... for some reason that guy keep forgetting. He stood there and waiting for us to say something. The director told him that he suppose to say this line. He said, "oh!" blah blah blah... It is the same thing over again of the next pratice. (normally we pratice 6 times over and over. That's it.) He still made the same mistake. After I said, "Good-bye, Annie" I looked at him and pointed a finger at him, his face expression was like oh, that's right, I'm saying the next line.... "blah blah blah." I do not memorize his line. I memorize my line. We pratice again, the other girl (who's Crone number 2) she pointed finger at him, too. Hahaha. I laughed at his mistakes as well I lauged at mine. pppfffttttt

We all are not perfect.

Oh by the way, there's another deaf lady finally showed up; however, she knows... no sign language at all. She look like almost same age as I am. She's a massage therepist and she having hard time dealing with clinets because of her "accent" I can tell her "accent" is really not so great voice... It's more of....very much deaf person's voice. I was surprised that she managed without sign language. Deep down I know that she's strugge and I also know that she doesn't realize that because she grow accustomed to it for long time. It is best to use sign language when talking to costumers because I notice that they will be more open and say it more clearly. They seem will try to work with you as willing to meet half way with you. That make it a lot easier. If they don't know that I'm deaf, I notice they tend to be thinking that I'm rude when I'm not. It is easier that way for hearing people to know that there are some deaf people are working.

I felt sorry for her as well to a lot of deaf people who raised oral and never knew sign language. Part of me that I'm glad that I learned. Even though I did raised oral but it is best to combine. Teaching oral and sign language are the best thing in the world but that's just my opinion based on my experience.
