On Vox: Telephone line

[resare]

I need to do something. I can't sleep before midnight, regardless of what time I get up in the morning, and, knowing my luck, I'll probably be up until at least two, which I don't like doing. I've thrown a quick playlist together on iTunes, so I can write something and not get distracted by the shuffle feature picking a song I'm not so keen on.

i, too, hate the idea of telephone interviews. telephone interviews are standard for my line of work though. My problem, in addition to telephones in general, is that when I speak to Japanese people, if I can't see them I can't understand them. They could use the same words to me in person, and I'd be able to pick up context and general meaning and be able to muddle through. Put them on a telephone, and something gets cut out of the voice (due to shitty quality), as well as a lack of body language cues... it just borks me completely.
