You could just go old school and, y'know.......use a phone.


Ahh but Logos you fail to notice that I will avoid talking to people over the phone like my life depends on it. Typing is easier. And I organize my thoughts better through writing than talking

This should not be the highlight of my day. (That was originally supposed to be my entire post, but then I saw what PsychoSith wrote and had to reply.)

+217

Work related, I make approximately one (1) phone call per month, and will take one (1) phone call per month. I tell new hires, sales reps, pretty much everyone that I won't answer my phone if they call, and to just email me, which I will usually reply to in under 5 minutes.

Ok fine, I do talk on my phone with my mother.

Same....I hate talking on the phone.  I have Irritable Larynx caused by Acid Reflux so if I speak too much I start coughing uncontrollably.  I speak to my mother nightly on the phone since she doesn't own a computer or have internet but that's about it.

That's why you need to practice. Eventually, you will be able to speak as well as you write. I used to hate public speaking for school. Then in college, I learned that I'm better with impromptu speaking than organized speeches. Now the problem is getting me to shut up. Tongue Grin

Further more, I have never been a fan of writing. But....then I get on here and and BOOM. If I'm able to write like I speak, and I'll write pages of material.

You just need to practice.

Trust me, I know Da Wae.

Dont get me wrong - I speak well. I write better on average but I speak well. My issue isnt of insecurity or lack of skill its lack of patience. People just talk so darned slow and rarely say what they actually mean

I'd ask why it's snowing here, but I've given up. For the record, I'm in Rochester, NY, which I guess explains it.

 Anyone else having trouble sleeping because they are out of a job due to the virus and have no schedule to keep anymore? I can’t keep myself busy enough in the day to be tired at night and now I’m up almost all night and I get terrible sleep for a few hours during the day. I feel like a zombie.

My girlfriend struggled with this while she was temporarily out of work. Having something to keep her mind occupied seemed to work, deep cleaning her room, working on fun projects like a new dnd campaign that sort of things. Not a perfect solution but it seemed to work for her.

Unrelated work woes; i think ive mentioned a certain problem employee at my work whos caused me some grief in the past yeah? Well sparklebrain over here ignored one of our email mailboxes for an extended period of time which just now became noticed. So guess who gets to clean up that mess? Yeah. "But psycho" you may ask, "how many emails did he ignore that you now have to handle?"

Well according to our exchange server


Approx. 200,000. Two. Hundred. Thousand.

Shoot me.

Yeah, but if we shoot you, that's just another mess that would need to be cleaned up. And they'd probably make you do that too. After you'd been shot.

So instead we're going to run your co-worker through a woodchipper, and use whatever comes out to feed the hogs.

Today's the last time that I played any type of game on my phone. SWGOH has frustrated me to a point where I literally shattered my phone display. It still works, but this will NEVER happen on any device again, be it PC, phone or whatever. I'm so tired of this....it's the second time, and it definitely is the last time. I cannot afford a new one, and my insurance can't replace it with the same model. Galaxy S6 Edge's aren't common anymore...

Need time for myself the next days. Won't be active here.

Ahh Racona.  Undecided

I'm sure we can all relate to "I'm going to smash this controller, put my foot through the screen, then go on an actual killing spree". 

Sorry to hear, and understood.  Undecided
