#phone reference

Go into settings. Accessibility. Talkback. Settings for that. You should finally see text to speech settings, click that. Click the gear icon next to Preferred engine. Click Install Voice Data and Download ALL the languages you want text to speech and pick the voice option you like. Then go back. Now pick Language Detection and select Aggressive. Now it will read different languages even if you are only set to one language by default (which Samsung makes your device set to only 1 default language).

So fellow tumblrarians and archivists:

How do y'all log phone reference? An old fashioned phone message pad? Google form? Excel?

Lemme know.

- even if you get along great with your family, you will get along even better after moving out

- everyone else is too busy panicking about everyone else noticing every tiny thing that could possibly be wrong about them to notice any tiny thing that could possibly be wrong about you

- the person on the other end of the phone probably hates talking on the phone as much as you do. Even a receptionist. Be nice to them please! Frequently you aren’t talking to the person in charge of making decisions.

- Take pictures and have prints made and put them in photo albums. Be IN the pictures. Someday that friend might be gone and those pictures might be all you’ll have; you will want to be in them.
