  1. Things I don't understand: When the only thing someone has said in an online chat is "brb"

     

    Like, we kinda have to be aware of your participation for 'brb' to mean anything lol

    How about someone showing up, saying "AFK" after 10 minutes of silence, then logging out immediately... I've seen that an awful lot.

  2. I knew I disliked making telephone calls but my telephonophobia came to the fore when a temp agency placed me in a job at a telemarketing company making cold calls for potential customers. During the training session, I was only calling the team lead but my heart began racing something awful, I began sweating and I began to feel extremely nauseous. I had to rush to the bathroom for fear of vomiting. This came on all of the sudden and I told the team lead that I had to go home. They accepted it and as soon as I got out of the building and knew I wouldn't be making calls, I suddenly felt 100% better. I called the company (the anxiety returned!) and told them what had happened and they said that I'm not the first and that they would find someone else. I nearly collapsed when I got onto the bus ride home.

     

    Even today, I can't cold call people without nearly fainting. I don't know what it is.

    I must have a mild case of that then... I don't mind someone calling me, as long as I'm either expecting it, or know the person, all else is a no-go. I did well as a call-in helpdesk for modems because I expected random people calling, but I wouldn't be able to cold-call someone to save my life. (just calling in sick took effort, and that was automated)

  3. Whichever one would be the most difficult to get to, the hardest to industrialize, and has the most vegetation. (and hopefully some wildlife that would make things interesting, like tribbles and t-rexes or something)

     

    Similar question... Same situation, which planet and why?
