For those who do not know, I am organizing with the help of other persons and entities a meeting on light pollution, a topic that interested me enough to make a short film last year about this. Can get more information on this website.
But let that concerns us: in fact the event I am organizing a lot of help from one person more, Viviana Bianchi. Sponsoring institutions do institutionally, so Vivian and I are madly trying to leave a good thing. At this time, after last chaos Initially, we are full with the media. What occurred to me then? Send an email to the press institute that study to see if they could lend a hand and post it on the web (by the way, which is made fairly new to students can use as a tool to disseminate our work and so on. I'll stress the word our ).
actually had already sent a mail to tell the realization of my too short to see if he could have spread, but got no response. I said this in the mail at Chico's Secretariat (for not put the name, of course), who is in charge of the area, and sent him information on the event. He answered in two hours as follows:
"Mary, how are you?
I had a problem with my computer and lost all my mails
boxes, so I appreciate the reminder.
is now published on the website of the Institute in the news section, the
event information highlighting your participation in it, as
for us is very proud that our students excel in the
journalistic community.
have any suggestions, feel free to contact me.
Greetings,
Secretariat Boy "

Aja ...
course, given such pride that the author wanted to be the event. "XXXX and Gob. Invite city " .. Pardon? And where was clear that I organized? Could it be that someone reading that title llegaaaaaara confused? And my outstanding participation what? Ah, of course, was my name! Above the beautiful flyer that I took out the logos, leaving only the timing and direction.
My answer:
"Hey Boy Secretariat! Thanks for publishing!
What I'm going to ask is if you can clarify that those who invite and organize the event are the following entities and me:
City Government, Ministry of Environment
Dark Sky Assosiation
Starlight Initiative
In Defense of Dark Skies
Because if it is as if the XXXX and the Govt. City guests and organizers, it is not clear anywhere that I organized. I think I should say that the invited XXXX, but clarified that those organizing are the entities you name and my name, because I'm doing a hard laburo as not clarify;)
I await your response ,
A kiss
Mary "
Note that the nod was to give a tone of "Hey, Daddy? Understand? ". After 10 minutes I said,
"It is Mary,
Greetings,
Secretariat Boy"
beating ... and of course, added under "Organize ..." and I said entities. I still do not appear rather than the short passes, and the title is exactly the same.
I will not send another mail. Morning when God took my poster and ask if I can put on the cork bulletin board, I will talk specifically Secretariat Boy and I will raise that misleading title I do not like and which I find a fourth management. Both taught me in all matters of ethics and the handling of information, and ultimately from the same institute secretariat do with their own students. Sucks.
Then tell them. Secretariat boy, you've got a problem. For mail I do not like to be as sharp, but in person, my voice rises many decibels and becomes shrill. Hold on.
