Tomorrow I need to do an eye checkup in english (instead of german aka the norm) and I just checked if there are any better ways to explains things or tell people what to do etc instead of my basically direct translations and turns out

nope

it sounds exactly as stupid as i already worded it, no special words or better formed sentences around 10/10 school english is good enough (nice)

#txts #i am not excited #bc its always difficult to do specialized shit in another language #AND the person i am examining doesnt even know english and has a translator #so I speak english and the translator translates it over #which CAN be fine #but for finer reactions it can screw things over a bit so i hope thats not the case (:#also my coworker who can also do these in english got salty and decided to not do them anymore bc its not in his job description #which like-great i guess we can all just decide not to do things #like....an eye exam which IS in our job description with no languages specified (:#but then he is also the first to cry about ppl not going above and beyond #truly amazing thinking there #its not even like its truly hard its just annoying to do if the person you examin doesnt fucking understand you #goes for native german speakers as well #some ppl just dont have braincells #'please look at the number 9 in the 3 line'#//begins to read the entire thing from the top again #look-stupidity is not a sin and neither is misunderstanding stuff even if sometimes idek how you could #but also.....pls just actually listen and comprehend the words i am using #also dont suddenly throw out a 3rd or 4th option on a 2 question answer #or dont fucking interrupt me during a question either (:#'alright so do you prefer 1 or-' 'URGH NO THATS SO BAD NO NEVER' 'OR 2' 'NOOOOOO THATS BAD!!!!! I CANT SEE!!!'#yes m'am we are fuCKING WORKING ON IT #RELAX PLEASE DEAR FUCKNG GOD WE ARE LIKE 30SECONDS IN #this suddenly turned into a tags-rant oops #but yeah #pet peeve is ppl fucking interrupting me (: or not listening at all ever (:
