Today I actually had to call one of our clients and talk to him. I hardly ever have to interact with the people whose websites I create, that's what my boss does, play mediator between clients and developers. I am perfectly satisfied with things being that way, as I don't really consider myself much of a people person... I'm not in the computer industry because I like people... I'm much more comfortable over here in my corner, solving problems. Fear of confrontations at its best I think. But anyhow, in general I very rarely have to talk to people anyway. I think the first client I ever actually spoke to was from the maple farm whose website I did, and she was very very nice and I was able to fix her problem without any trouble. I didn't mind talking to her because I enjoyed working on her website so much. :) And the other one, maybe the only other one before today, was nice on the phone, but he's the guy whose name we usually dread... not because he's mean or anything... he's just one of those who calls almost every day with something he wants changed. ;)

Anyways, today I had to call a guy and let him know when I finished making the changes he wanted on a form. I think this was my punishment for not finishing the changes as soon as my boss asked for them, and then he had to leave for a meeting and couldn't call the guy himself. Ooops... my fault. No biggie, they are done. And I lived through the phone call. I was a little shaky when I hung up, but it wasn't a horrible experience or anything. I'm not even sure what's so scary about it. What's so frightening about people? They're just people. Even people I know, or kinda know. Like calling out the invites for Joe's party. All people I know. Calling them? Scary. Almost backed out of a couple. Didn't, and glad I didn't, because everyone was happy to be invited. But yeah. I have this unnatural fear of calling people. Controllable, but still really stupid, as fears go. :P
