I think I have a cure to your phoning people phobia...
YAY. YAY. Congrats!!!!!!!

1. Prank calls (at least to one understanding friend or a telemarketer)
2. Work in a call center. I used to work in one after college that did customer satisfaction surveys for certain utility companies. There wasn't a lot of "YOU @22@#%@#%@^@^! STOP CALLING!", stuff... You have a script to read from. You could work for an airline taking ticket orders lol. As a creative, a cubicle can be confining.

Oooh dear, I can't stand telemarketers. I think I'd prank call them, but I'd never be able to be one :P Though some call centre experience could prove useful when I rewrite the fourth book of my NaNo '10...

I think I'll just stick to prank calling people from public phone boxes. And have a whole pile of pranks ready for when a telemarketer phones. We get enough of them >:)

'a cubicle can be confining.' - I'd ask if I could work from a meadow in the south of France or something. Just sit there in the grass, phoning people. That would be awesome.
