What kind of mask did you wear?

For airbrushing classes, I had to wear a Twin Filter Half Mask. It costs around 40 bucks (student price). Yes, it's a respirator. You shouldn't had went into these places without wearing one. If the fumes are strong, it means you should wear a respirator. Just my honest opinion.

It's crazy that they didn't have you wearing one! As an interpreter, you are entitled to receive one at their expenses. At least that's what would happen if you work in Ontario.

I didn't realized that you have had to required to wear the smock and mask during terp at school. I only knew terps wear mask and gloves during labor/birth at the hospitals.

I always thought every terps wear casual clothes like us do. Sometimes I have seen some terps wear medium to dark blue solid shirts (or blouses/sweaters) someplace. For example, she wore blue shirt that day and then later in few weeks or so, I met her again wore the same color shirt.

Some small companies couldn't afford to pay for terp to be present with them for any meeting, interview, etc. Always large companies usually do pay them.

I use the same "equipment" as the students (they complain about the fumes, too). The classroom doesn't have adequate ventilation. Sometimes it is worse for me than the students because I am facing "downwind", and the students face "upwind". I hope the situation will be better next semester.

It depends on the situation and the environment.

During this past year I have worn dark suits (for church), blouse and slacks (for classroom lectures), skirt and blouse (for business meeting), smock and safety gear (for lab classes), and casual shirt and khakis (for tour boat cruise). I interpret in schools, church, hospitals, state parks, and various work places. So you see, one outfit is not right for every place.

Very true!
