+ You can work in fuzzy bunny slippers, pajamas, or whatever you like to wear — or nothing at all.
+ You get paid to watch sports.
- You can’t drink beer during the ball game.
+- Where else can you spend your work day watching cage fighting and hockey in the same day? Is there’s really a difference?
+ You don’t have to deal with attorneys!
- You can’t stop the proceedings when it gets too fast.
- Captioning the Home Shopping Network can be hard on the budget.
+ Where else can you work while watching your cow give birth?
-+ Every day, you get to learn new and different (bizarre!) spellings of names .
++++ Not many jobs give you the satisfaction that you’ve added to someone’s quality of life, and that you’re giving them a service that most hearing people take for granted.
Kathy, Gale Muehlbauer referred to me you, but didn’t give me a contact method. I can’t find any information on your site to contact you. Hope you will see this comment. I’m working on an article about broadcast captioning. Please contact me at ncayton(at)peralta(dot)edu

Hi Kathy,
Thanks for replying. I was hoping to interview you by phone or email about your experiences being a captioner for the article I mentioned. Would you have time for that?
Nancy
