Had to be very satisfying to know you made a difference. Makes up for all the down days.

And yet again explains why I continue to volunteer here in Toppenish even though the people in this office aren't the most pleasant to be around.
A couple came in who were from Switzerland. He spoke very little English. He had a rental car that was giving him a message. He had me call Thrifty for him because he wouldn't understand on the phone. Long story short - the car rental people got someone on the phone who spoke French so he could get answers.
Then I used Babelfish to ask him a couple of other questions. Thrifty told him he'd have to take the car back to Portland to get it replaced - not surprising - but through the computer translation I was able to ask him if he needed car service.
That is why I enjoy doing this!
