What is Your First Name?

Sorry; as a terp, I prefer to keep my real name confidential. Even my first name is very distinctive, so I have to pass on this request.

I am with Reba on this one. If your striving to be an interpreter as a career, your clients need confidentiality bec the deaf community is very small yet its very large that news about so and so can get out like a wild fire. Its just tip to keep in mind and that's a #1 in the RID code Ethics

TENETS

That's okay. I don't want to know.

Besides I like your screen name Reba as it kind of reminds me of the country singer Reba MacIntyre. :)
