My agency currently has a new call take trainee who learned Spanish as her first language. She has shared with us that when she is thinking or processing what someone is saying to her, it is in Spanish in her mind. When she is taking a call she will hear their information in English, will process it in her mind in Spanish, and then document it in English.
Her concern is that during this process she may translate the information into the call notes incorrectly or with a different meaning and that this is slowing her down, to not meet our time of dropping the call within 30 seconds or less.

She speaks and understands English without issue.

Anyone who has experience with this we would love any advice on how you worked through it!

Thank you in advance 💛

I had Bariatric sleeve surgery 2 years ago next week. I never walked post surgery, so I never got rehabilitated. I definitely paid for it. Totally OUT of shape, lose my breath walking, lost muscle mass. Even walking half a mile would cause my whole body to just ache.
So I gave up. I’ve since started peri-menopause and am in a funk that isn’t going away. I think my job is starting to wear on me, I’m a 911 dispatcher and the shift work is hard on me.
I’ve been lurking in here, trying to find motivation. And I’m happy to report that I’ve been encouraged to get up and walk again, because of ALL of you! So I wanted to say thank you.
This past Friday evening, I walked with my youngest outside around a track at a nearby school, Saturday I hiked with both of my daughters, and today when I got up, I got in a virtual meeting for my recovery and walked on my walking pad for 20 min! It’s not as long as I hoped however, baby steps. I’m tired, I’m sore and mentally, I feel better already. First time that I’ve been this active in 2 years and it felt so good!
