pet preeves

Closed-minded is one of my several pet peeves of mine.

I couldn't believe when I found out thru my college of office of disablity that I have to request from audiologist about my needs such as notetaker and interpreter and etc. So I contact my audiologist's desk service and request thru the relay. Few days later, I open the letter and it said I only need to sit close-by with professor. Interpreter was not needed. Ugh! What part of deaf that you don't understand?? Just because I'm wearing hearing aids doesn't mean I don't need interpreter. I mean, I had interpreter during mainstream and etc.

So I called again and I told I do need interpreter and notetaker. The desk service told me they did send letter. I respond. The letter mention I don't need interpreter but I do need one.

Second letter said the same thing that I don't need interpreter. Ugh! I do NEED interpreter!!! I just don't want to drive there to waste my gas. That's why I called instead. Look like I have no choice, now. I have to find time to drive there next week. I'm free Monday and Tuesday... Just hope my work didn't contact me in last minutes. I hate when that happen espeically when I'm in the middle of errands. Normally I wld say no. But depend on certain sitiuation like I do need the money. However I don't need the money for time being so I'm able to say no.
One nicest thing is, I can say yes or no whatever I feel like it.

I should look at bright side more often, huh?

Well, like I said, look like I have to drive and waste my gas to audiologist's place and request again that I REALLY do need interpreter if they refuse then I'm going to have to ask "why?" Because this is stupid!
My lunch break is nearly up.
