trainer: "Has anyone here used Jack's pee?"

me: [to myself] "heh heh heh"

[then looking at the slide on the screen - "JAXP"]

me: "oh..."

I'm not sure how most people are, but I get a little stressed out if I have to call and talk to someone to do something over the phone...

I actually have no problem talking to people, but there is just something about having to deal with a person that you cannot see...

ordering food, dealing will bills, making reservations...

for me it is because voice communication is in efficient when dealing with details... numbers or orders can be misheard or mis typed by the person inputting the information... static, having to deal with a snotty rep or customer... whatever...

this is why the advent of online orders is great. the onus is on the consumer - or the tech support guys, but mainly on the consumer - for inputting the correct information. if something gets screwed up, 99% of the time, it is your fault.

I can live with that.

I can order my dim sum, books, dvd's, furniture, hardware, software, clothes, etc online and if I so choose I can get it the next day (for the additional cost of overnight) or wait a few weeks if it is a pre-order, or wait a week if it is ground.

even with shipping most things you can get online are cheaper than any store...

but I digress... I don't know what it is about having to make that call, but I seriously hate thinking about having to do it... oh, I've got to call this person because of this, and then I have to call with this person because of that...

maybe it's just because, sometimes, I don't like to deal with people... you ever get in that mood? not wanting to deal with people?

probably the main reason why I will sit at home by myself and not call or talk to anyone until I absolutely need to.

why?

because "people" have expectations... "people" judge you... "people" can easily make a "person" very uncomfortable...

you can trust "people" but if that trust gets shattered a few times it is hard to put yourself out there again.

don't judge me. video games don't judge me... they might mock me, but they don't judge.

same thing with food.

:-P

but remember...

don't over indulge...

because food and video games are just what they are...

food and video games are not love.
