Hey, Maranara, I know how scary those calls can be. I've made similar cold calls for information and sometimes favours. But once you get your head around it, it's more doable.

Sounds like WEbgoji has a huge comfort zone. I am not very comfortable in this world. My commute to school almost an hour each way is the worst thing for me. I hate people being near me, the smells, noises, and people touching me or stepping on me. Very unnerving - I have to nearly meditate the entire time. I also have two classes this term with lots of spoken interaction. I'm not used to that. I'm going with it to make the most of it so I get new skills. I need it, since I'll be stepping up my job/career development soon. I've had a career before, but I have also spent many years peacefully working from home, which I prefer, so dealing with people is in many ways definitely outside my comfort zone.
