Hi. Message for you. The 1990s called. They want their phrase back.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&gt; ’cause I’m a bit insane in the membrane as D says</p><p>Hi. Message for you.

I&#039;d probably be out of a job if I had that kind of problem as my current one requires that I scare the s**t out of colleagues all throughout the country so that they, in turn scare the beejeebus out of customers into making paymennts and deposits. It goes something like this: &quot;Gimme all yer money, hark, hark!!!&quot; :D</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OMG, no offence, but, seriously, what is wrong with you???

I also don&#039;t really enjoy telephone conversations very much but I seem to do quite well and always come across as professional. However, it&#039;s because I always know and practice what I&#039;m going to say. If I&#039;m thrown off guard I always sound like an idiot. Quite often, I&#039;ll even write down exactly what I want to say!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Haha, aww.

Some of the funniest conversations I had were  the ones I had on the phone : the most recent involving some guy calling me two offices away and even though I do have caller ID on the phone I kept asking Who is this? and the faking i can&#039;t hear him , just to see him in my office only seconds later being like &quot;i think something&#039;s wrong with your phone dude
AND some of the most frustrating : like having to spell my last name to english operators and ending up using military alphabet L as in Lima...A as in Alpha...P as in Peter... u get the gist :)  *i wanted literally choke the other person thru the phone* )</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lol, no i wasn&#8217;t implying the problem&#8217;s you. <img

Seriously, of course it&#039;s me. It&#039;s &#039;cause I&#039;m a bit insane in the membrane as D says. The problem is not talking on the phone with parents/family/bf, no, that I&#039;m fine with.

Try sending or texting your parents who haven&#039;t seen you in x months.
OR...ask D about our private phone line where we used to talk for HOURS on end, THEN tell me I could have wrote him a 100page email :)
And all those things you get from a person standing next to you, can be inferred by the tone of one&#039;s voice and even by those awkward pauses ;)
Who knows...maybe the problem&#039;s not the phone :P</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I respectfully disagree <img
