Part of our agency's mission is to cultivate positive relations with suppliers and grantmakers. And this includes knowing all about their lifestyles, especially their office personalities. We keep a data base of things that they most likely like to keep in their offices.
This AM I came upon an advertisement for a painting I felt that one of grantmakers would like in her office. I used MCI relay to call the number to try get the painting. Well the owner of the painting wasnt home so I left contact info to reach me at the office.
Just an hour ago I had an associate contact the painting owner and she connected to him only to find out that he had been trying to reach me all day through the relay as he is familiar with the deaf people using the relay. He wasnt able to reach me because the relay operator this morning misstated the phone number actually said "959" instead of "949" for the area code.
Anyways I am getting the painting tonight hopes the painting will translate into a meaty grant once its in the grantmaker's office.
Well if MCI wants to do business with the deaf they need not to piss of people especially people of my position in the deaf society!
