You don't realize how much you miss by not hearing a voice. The relay operator's explanation at the beginning takes forever(telling you what the hell is going on and telling you to say 'go ahead' when you're done, the way a truck driver would say 'over') and the deaf person has to wait, even if they just have one little thing to ask. And she doesn't even know if she's talking to the same person (or even the same gender) after she's been put on hold. Sucks to be her.

Also, this lady was thoroughly confused because she was told a man answered the phone earlier, and I had to explain that the employee (who uses a female name and wears dresses) is biologically male. Even then it took probably ten exchanges or so to convey this, and much longer to deal with a very irate customer who could only type words to express how upset she was that she couldn't get anyone to talk to her.

It must suck. I'd rather that all phones had a keyboard, or all stores had instant messengers or something

That is rough something we all take for granted and never give a second thought to.

my sister works for massachusetts relay for the hearing iompaired company. It's sort of sad because the turnover for the job is incredible.. And the company just changed and the people that work tehre lost all thier vacation time and took a pay cut.
