I really, REALLY hate talking on the phone
I applied to a job I think I would actually really dig. It's an admin assistant-type thing @ a literary foundation. But it includes things like some design + blogging duties, amongst the filing and junk. I'm sure the pay is crap, but I'm still all kinds of excited about it. Slightly annoying is the "submit your resume and DO NOT CALL US" line, though. *Frustrated*
I'm also currently stalling on all the phone calls I've been putting off for two months. In my volunteer capacity, I'm supposed to keep up with all these various groups across the country. Some I do really with - because I'm friends with them anyways + they use things like email + facebook. Others I suck at - because they are older + phone-only people. And I *hate* talking on the phone. I cannot concentrate and then I forget what we're talking about, because I quit paying attention 4 minutes earlier, and started doing something. It takes a lot of effort for me to have a conversation via phone and focus on it. I'm really going to go make these calls now. I swear. I've been talking about doing it for about an hour.
Oh - and for my Buffyverse fans: Finished Season 4. I understand it's a season that pretty much no one likes. Although a few people stood up for it and a couple specific episodes. So, I think the overall story w/ the Initiate was ridiculous. Possibly more ridiculous than other big storylines, even. I did think that a couple episodes were pretty good, though. I think the biggest reason people didn't like it was because of all of the change: no more high school, Xander's 58 million crappy jobs, Giles midlife crisis, etc. I actually thought it was handled pretty well and kind of realistically (for a show about vampires, werewolves, and demons). Everyone had growing pains and new people and struggled to figure out where they fit in now.
...and apparently I am still stalling. Seriously. Going to make phone calls NOW.
