River: Phones are evil
Bears do not like phones. I think it's mutual.
According to my phone's call log, I made 12 phone calls today, many of them to strangers (trying to find a notary, mostly without success). Several related to health care (not mine). I've gotten hardly anything else done today, and I'm clean out of mental spoons. And low on physical ones -- apparently stress is tiring.
I like receiving phone calls, if they're from people I know, but even if I know somebody very well, I have trouble picking up a phone and calling them. It's not something I'll do if I have an alternative. I can manage a business-related call if I have a script, but even there it's difficult.

Then there's the part where I can rattle off a perfectly coherent message to an actual human being to pass along to another human being, but get completely tongue-tied trying to leave a voicemail message.
