In about half an hour, I have to do a thing on the phone. The prospect of "You have to make a phone call" makes me a wreck for hours beforehand. It hangs over my head like that one sword, uh, what's it called [looks it up] Sword of Damocles. Huh. I don't think that metaphor works in this case, but screw it, I'm taking it.

THE THINGS I DO FOR LOVE

Really? You're phone-phobic? That's interesting. Granted I'm not the greatest person on the phone but I much prefer it over text because then I can hear inflections and stuff better and get a better feel for the other person's mood.

Is it because you have less time to react to the voice on the other end?

Excellent question! I'm not sure of the answer! I think it's because I can't read visual cues like facial expressions that let me know "OK you can jump into the conversation at this point."
