Funny thing about saying, “Not English.”

I was looking for a fork in the kitchen and tiptoes into the kitchen. I kept looking for fork until the lady in the kitchen saw me. I asked, “Need a fork,” and she said, “Not English.” I was puzzled because she is black, not look like Mexican or something. Finally, the manager asked us what we were doing? I saw the siverware and showed her silverware fork, and the manager said, “Not that silverware.” Actually, I am nonverbal, so understand what I am looking for. She told that lady to get her plastic fork. The lady went into the room and got me a fork. I said, “Thank you.” Not know what she said after I turned my back to her.

Can you imagine anyone telling you….”Not English?” Wow.

My hearing aides batteries dead, so I can’t hear her saying after turning my back to her. Sorry!

I was taking a lady to hair cut. She wanted to go out and eat for lunch, so I had a small lunch before picking her up. She ordered the meal and did not see her phone yet. She was focused on buying foods that leave in my car.

We took food out of my car and carried them inside the house. She did not see her phone yet.

We went to the restaurant to pick up her order for lunch. Still not see her phone, so keep going to her haircut place. The haircut lady lives in an apartment, so we parked there and let her eat some French fries before going to the lady’s doormat. Not even look at her phone.

The white lady comes to us and talks to us. She knows we are deaf and using sign language but speak in Spanish! We do not understand her and speak Spanish! Oh my, we are not Hispanic! We just nodded at her and did not understand her.

Finally, she got out of my car and walked to the doormat. Knock…. no one answered, so knock again….no answer. As I started my car to go but saw her look at her phone to text the haircut lady. She looked at me and stopped my car. She said, “The haircut lady falls and at the hospital.” She come to my car and show me the phone.

Guess what? we missed her text since 11am! Had her reschedule for next time. It was a waste of time and not bother to look at the phone all morning.

Nice day!

Worse I ever seen about lady who like to be KAREN and not understand what is deaf about. She saw me like normal person and talk to me while I was looking at television. She started to fit about me being ignore and talk to other workers about me. The worker told her that “She (ME) did not hear you and just get her attention then will see you when you are talking to wave at her.”

She looked at me and waved at me and I looked at her but rude kind. I do not appreciate that attitude. I said to myself, “She is so rude!”

Next week, I came to check the time sheet and that KAREN come by, pushed me away from the sheet. I saw her moving and get in line for time. I was like WHOA! I backed off before getting worse. Other workers saw what happening but do nothing. I guess that is her normal way or behave, who knows. I waited for her to finishing with time sheet and leaving so I could get my time sheet to check out.

In my gut, while I was checking out and KAREN talked behind my back. I looked at workers when KAREN left. Workers sighed. I think still RUDE but next time I won’t hang around her anymore.

Next time, KAREN will never be good friend, period.

Funny I was watching television at breakroom and sound was on. I don’t care what they are watching so patient with them. Once they are leaving and I turned channel and sound to MUTE! Yeah, I had it as MUTE and umm I am deaf. I know I am deaf and use the MUTE on television. I thought funny and of course I laugh at myself. I guess that I do not want to hear anything on television or computer. Or not want people to hear what I am watching? Who knows.

Many times, always think it is medical thing, but it isn’t. Medical Tech is like testing blood in labs or bodily fluids from sweat to tissue. It sounds vampire! LOL. Actually, I been in medical for years and never think I would be medical housekeeper instead of technician or pharmacist. Medical housekeeper is kept everything cleaned in hospital. I was medical assistant and doing billing before become housekeeper. Oh boy, it is much different than I thought it would be.

End up I am really OR housekeeper and it is better job for me. OR is SURGERY. It took me while to feel normal again. Only weekends Surgery closed so I take my time to clean on discharged patients. It is easy and short as sweet.

Hope well me feeling better. Smile. ~DW

See how hearing people come in chatroom and sign language full of room. See how deaf people come in chatroom and lipmovong full of room.

All of my followers agreed. That is facts.
