Phone calls are the most stressful and frustrating thing... I’ll tell ya, there’s nothing like returning a phone call and starting with “H-h-h-h-h-h-h-hi i-i-i-i-i-is th-th-th-this Mmmmmmmmm-Morgan? I-I-I-I j-j-j-j-j-just w-w-w-w-w-want-e-e-d t-t-t-o aaa-ask about a t-t-t-t-tour of the c-c-c-c-com-c-c-c-com—plex.” And then the person says “I’m sorry, could you say that again?” Honestly some days I just wish people would default to email communication instead of forcing you to call back for something that doesn’t require a call. For the love of God people just don’t realize how painful these interactions are for us. I love talking to people but I literally CAN’T. I’m sorry, rant over. Maybe I just need some people telling me I’m worth something right now.
