Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Okay, I feel better than I am not alone in my phone fear. I always felt like a freak.

God, no. I hate talking on the phone, especially for business purposes. I keep trying to give my work phone away, but no one will take it because it's the phone random people in Brazil call for miracles.

I stayed at that company for five years and before I left was one level down from the board of directors.

oooh, how very Melrose Place.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And yes, it's satire, people.

Thanks for the disclaimer. I never would have guessed.

No, seriously, I wouldn't.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just got a package containing soaps and other nice smelling things for -t from someone in DC. I can read the real life name on the outside of the package just fine, but the signature inside got smudged, so I can't read it, and (although I am pretty sure I should), I don't know how the real life name translates to board names.

Could whoever sent it let me know? Thanks!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh, thank god I didn't have to use a PA system.

I think a lot of people on the board have phone fear. I am surprised at how many succesful women I know personally who have it. I await our anti-depressant specifically for phone fear.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yup. I even have a problem calling people I know and love.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have mild phone-fear. My phone fear used to be much greater, especially back when I used to stutter.

It always surprises me that the people with phone fear are often some of the most articulate people I know.

Yup on phone fear, but fortunately primarily with outgoing calls. It'd be even worse to work in a call center with incoming phone fear.

For all women are supposed to be inveterate chatterers, I wonder why phone fear is so prevalent? My reasoning is I hate to think I'm interrupting or imposing. Hubby is a chatterbox and gets/makes far more calls than I do.
