Why am I so crap at phone calls???

[draco_somnians]

When I'm on the phone at work, I'm awesome. Don't usually toot my own horn, but I know that my phone manner is great in a professional capacity. As for personal calls, I suck! I stammer and stutter and forget half of what I want to say. I've been known to write bullet point lists before... Lol. I just had to call a few people in my family who I only see or speak to maybe three or four times a year and I was shocking. The call to my auntie was just painfully uncomfortable. She's hard work for conversation face to face, so over the phone was even worse. Looooooong silences. Argh!

It threw me so much that I bottled out of the 'scary' portion of my "to call" list; people I haven't spoken to in years, but really should be invited to the party and eventually the wedding. Thankfully my mum had given me mobile numbers for most of them, so I completely bottled it and texted them instead!

My computer at work finally has the software I need to do my job! woohoo! But...I still don't have a printer. Fucking NHS are useless.

I'm writing the crackiest fic ever! Lol. If I get it finished tonight I might post it. It's ridiculous, even for me!! LOL. Fun though. Heh.

Anyone seen the quiz show "What the Dickens?" before? Is it new? Am I a total dork for thinking it looks good? It's on Sky Arts FFS! Lol.
