Trolleys are an important part of this town's public transportation system. My grandma uses them all the time :P

But yeah, you get to learn a lot of random stuff - depends what clients you get. Just a few days ago I received a little flattery - some woman came in with a medical text. She had been to another agency but their translation was, apparently, of poor quality. And then someone told her that our company has a "specialist" for this kind of stuff. I suppose she was referring to me because I am the one who does all medical translations. I have the most experience and background knowledge in the field.

It's not just about the terminology, you know. A lot of people can't do medical translations because they are sensitive. It can be tough to read about other people's suffering, especially if they are kids. I remember even I had a hard time with one text about a kid with epilepsy - it was very detailed. I can't even imagine how her parents feel...
