I am writing this entry instead of writing an email

[yuuago]

Man, writing emails makes me want to keel over.

At work, it's no problem; I can send hundreds of work-related emails every day without breaking a sweat. It's not a big deal at all.

But outside of work, writing a short email to ask someone a very simple question makes me want to dig a hole and stay in there, like some kind of very anxious badger.

Why.

(Brains, am I right?)

I feel like it's easier to do some things at work than in real life because of the whole sense of responsibility/"it's your job" framing. Like, for me personally, calling someone on the phone to make an appointment? Impossible. But I use the phone without hesitation all the time at work, because I have to.

True! If you have to, then... you have to! xD
