Hi Nick. I wish I had an answer. I have
perpetually cold hands. My only suggestion is to wear sweaters with long
sleeves. They should keep you warm to the wrists. However, I don't tend
to wear a lot of heavy stuff because I stay pretty warm while interpreting, and
sometimes is can seem a little restrictive, I suppose.
I guess you've asked for someone to
address the problem. I know that doesn't often work. I have an arctic
wind that blows past my computer, so my hands feel like icicles whenever I'm
on it for very long.
Good luck.
Alysa

Subject: gloves for interpreting
Hello all!
I apologize again for the dual post, but I also think
that both groups have insight that is helpful. ;-)
The school I work in is kept quite cold (rumors have
that the A/C is on) and normally that would be no problem, except that I really
don't want to terp with cold hands/wrists. It has just started, got a string of
cold fronts come through, and I can't seem to keep my wrists/hands warm. I have
warm-ups to do so I won't start cold turkey to terp, but it does nothing to
keep them warm for long enough. even while terping they are cold and i can feel
it. any ideas on gloves or warmers or something that i can wear either while
interpreting (and if this, should match skin tone, right? or at least be
something opposite/contrasting with the color my shirt, right?) or driving and
during preparation time so that i don't hasten injuries by terping cold.
(probably while driving too! ;-)
thanks all for your input in advance and hope great
afternoon for all of you!
nick
