Hey hey hey!
Right now I am sitting at the front desk, answering phones.
I have never been a phone person. I would much rather write out in an email how I feel than express myself through spoken words. Whenever I get upset or flustered or caught off guard, my throat closes and the words get lost behind my tongue, warbling into an inaudible jumble of mixed up language. Writing is much more natural for me. I can not count the number of times I’ve fought with my mother through letters and email and not through yelling.
But here I am. Answering and transferring phone calls.
I am working on putting together sponsorship information for one of JG’s clients. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s better to call and get it over with than wait in anguish for an email. As much as email is great (and I love it) it’s unreliable on the recipient’s end. They can choose to ignore my messages and leave me in the dark. With a phone call, they could send me to voicemail, but chances are they have to hear what I’m going to say. I just wish I was more comfortable on the phone.
I am starving but I have to wait for the other intern to come back. And then it will be her turn to answer phones.
This phone-tag will go on for another week and a half until T comes back from vacation. Joys!
Stay focused,
K
