Phonophobia

I hate the phone. Hate it. Yet, I need to conquer that hatred and get my phone on, since the list of people I need to call or call back is growing out of control.

Top of list:
re: her moving to Vancouver, breaking up with her boyfriend
re: use of flight credit, possibly visiting Bahamas, possibly not
– Alastair re: not having sent writing sample for Shakespeare & Co. book review
– Aloy (salesman at Trento Suzuki motors) re: my dead car in his parking lot
– Yvonne Lane at my quilt guild re: work shift this Saturday morning
– Olivia re: thanks for flowers, left bag at house on Sunday
re: thanks for tea

On other list of things to do:
– deposit cheque DONE!
– drink glass of red wine to celebrate end of Excelsior awards DONE!
– take hot bath NOT ACCOMPLISHED DUE TO LACK OF HOT WATER IN HOUSE LAST NIGHT BRRRR
– post massive backlog of quilt photos UNDERWAY
– book vacation with United airlines credit NOT IN ANY WAY ACCOMPLISHED DUE TO PHONEPHOBIA
– find birthday gift by March 17 for JVL (digital scale? Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVDs?)

  1. When your Aunt was here, she told me she was worried about S.B. and asked if she had said anything to me or to you. I told her she hadn’t and that I was sure that S.B. would open up to her when she was ready. Never underestimate the antennae of a mother, eh?

  2. I have been compiling similar list of phone calls I don’t want to make. Why can’t everyone just do everything by e-mail!?

  3. Dude-I so hear you. I have MASSIVE phonophobia. I use the phone as little as humanly possible.

    I’ve blocked out my memories of life before email, but I must have used the phone more, and thus, had a constant anxiety stomach ache.

  4. OMG, I know! Every now and then I think back to when we had to all call each other to make social plans and I stop wondering why I was depressed and tragic and never left the house.
