The problem with that S.School

I was taken aback the other when at a client's meeting to chat about various things, my usual interlocutor fumed at the difficulties to find "flexible" interpreters, those to accept to be paid only a few real hours fee for short meetings simultaneous and deliver alone up to one hour. Put aside the feasibility to deliver simul for one hour in a row - but more on this later because it tells a big story - my exasperated partners lashed out at that S.School, blurting, "It's all the fault of Simul!" I did not repress laughing. The S.School is indeed key to the definition and the dynamics of interpretation in Japan, but such a clear statement from a customer was unexpected.
