I've been doing more and more English teaching over the phone in 30 minute chunks. There are aspects of it that are vaguely creepy, at least on my side of things. I automatically kick into customer service mode with smiles and such, but since I'm on the phone, I'm making these faces for no one in particular. It has, on occasion, creeped Chris out quite a bit.
And no matter how many times I've done it, or how many lessons I've given, I always feel weird saying goodbye. I don't know how to phrase it just right. In my head it sounds creepy, disingenuous, or both. It's in my head, I know, but still. I often wonder if they think I'm strange.
