Isn't that interesting?

So what do I do for a living? I'm a secretary and I call people all day long. Every day. I have to answer the phone. All day long. I still hate it but I can do it without wetting my pants now. The fear is there, but managable most days. Some days i really struggle. But i do it anyway. Facing the fear has made me stronger although hasn't fully eleviated the fear. But once I get home, I avoid the phone like crazy.... lol...
Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a fear of calling. My husband doesn't get it at all. I don't panic at the drive through, though.
