the practice call was really hard 🥺
It's hard to type out a phone number to the relay operator- it's hard to type numbers at all on this stupid keyboard, not to mention that I'm absolutely incapable of keeping numbers in my head for the 2 seconds between looking at the number and typing it. (tbf I should have mentally read the numbers "outloud" instead of just trying to read and remember but I was nervous)
typing in real time is nervous-making!!!
I tend to type GA when I'm done with a sentence but then realize:
(A) didn't give the person (friend helping me practice) enough to respond to
the instructions I was given:
But when I tried to look up what ASK stands for I only found "SK means Stop Keying, which means you're getting ready to end the call" and "SKSK means you're definitely about to hang up / the call is over" no version of ASK came up?
- plug in and use one of my wireless keyboards if it allows. I have a mini one and a normal computer one
- maybe it'll get easier?
- maybe the operator I got was just. really bad at typing?
- maybe a call where I'm actually calling for a reason is easier than making a practice call just to practice calling especially with my friend who is notoriously bad at carrying a verbal conversation
