And etc…

So today I got into a fight with Marci in the lab about who has the worst phone anxiety. Marci told me she’s still afraid to call to order a pizza, and has managed to never do so in her entire life. I tried to top that, then I realized that I’ve gotten over most of my anxiety about the phone. I will call to order pizza nowadays, though it annoys me, for whatever reason. Apparently people with phone anxiety just need to get a job at an incoming call center to overcome this. And maybe drink a lot.

Of course, I still HATE the phone and find it to be the most imprecise form of communication ever invented. Yes, even worse than obscene gesturing, smoke signaling, and blogging. It irks me that I cannot see the non-verbal communications of others over the phone, and people often say things that they haven’t actually thought through while on the phone. Also, how do you know if the other person is actually listening? I mean, I’m only really listening maybe 60% of the time. Maybe. And that’s if I like you.

Anyway, the real point here? Marci is way weirder than me. So she wins. Congratulations! Though, we were also having the fight to decide who had to make the call to order Domino’s. But someone else Brittany (who is Type Awesome) did that anyway. It was a win-win situation for me. No longer the most messed up, and didn’t have to do anything. Life is above-average at the moment.
