Streets are completely iced here, meaning I can't come off the hill I live on *lol* ... busses aren't driving anyway, and to go by car it would be nothing but an attempt to suicide, honestly. It started to freeze yesterday and things haven't improved, so I'm stuck at home looking outside the window on that winterly landscape. On the plus side, I've just phoned the office I can't come working today, which means that unexpectedly, I got a day off. Yay ... :o)

Kind of proud myself here... I've got some sort of real nasty phoning-phobia which is not fun anymore. I almost freak out when I have to call people besides good friends, I just can't do it. I'm afraid I will terrible start to stutter or splutter; and that others will think me an idiot. It's always been that way and though it has improved a little lately, it's still bad enough. About a month ago I had to answer all the telephone calls at office while the others had a meeting... answering calls is not that bad to me because ... well I just have to answer them, I don't have to explain myself and why I'm calling ... but still it was like a trial of courage to me. So I'm kind of proud of myself that this morning, it took me only about 10 minutes (it IS personal record, honestly!) to overcome my fears and then call the office. Sounds geeky, non? :o) I wish this phobia could be helped somehow ... *ponders* ... because my father thinks me (regarding this matter) some sort of second Woody Allen anyway. He thinks I'm just making it up but I AM damn scared to phone other people. Well ... Steffishness :o)

Another non-movie post ... whoa ... I'm getting the hang on it! :o)
