Hello - My name is Alan. I'm a retired counselor living in the Upper Left of the US (aka WA state). I was an interpreter at one time many years ago, left it to raise a family, work 2 jobs and drop off the "sign language" radar for a time. In the past 3 years I have discovered I have a hearing loss. I was diagnosed as hard of hearing and can notice when I wear my hearing aids and when I don't. I am getting back into signing more. My speed and ability to read sign have greatly diminished but I am here to regain that speed and accuracy. Am hoping to develop a greater vocabulary, too. Hope to meet some of you in the forums.

By the way, I am not on any social media of any sort. Due to the nature of the clients I worked with, it was best. I'm not trying to be Mr. Mysterious here, it's just that some of those individuals were not above seeking certain people out.

Balancing two jobs to support a family is something many people understand all too well. The long hours, the constant juggling, and the sacrifices made along the way can be exhausting. But what if there was an easier way? Instead of working twice as hard, why not find a job  that pays better and offers a better work-life balance? With the right opportunities, you can focus on one role that provides financial stability without the burnout. There are platforms designed to help professionals  UK contractors  like you find high-paying, flexible jobs—whether it's contract work, remote positions, or specialized roles that match your skills. If you're looking for a way to work smarter, not harder, explore job listings on services built to connect you with better opportunities.
