No Woodward. No Bernstein.

I never realize how awkward I am until I have to talk to people. I write for the Daily Mississippian which often involves calling up strangers and asking probing questions. Actually, I don't know how probing the questions really are. I'm not quite up to the level where I'm trying to get people to divulge information about their secret CIA operations, but still, it's awkward. Especially because I'm usually on the phone, and I have to type. I have to have it on speaker phone which makes it hard to hear. I'm going to have to get one of those obnoxious ear thingies for your phone. I hate those. There is nothing more annoying than those people who walk around All. The. Time. talking on their bluetooths in public. Unless you're driving, or have to have one for work, there's no reason you should need one.
Anyway, if I'm going to pursue this career any further, I'm going to have to learn how to talk to people. I'm a journalist, it's my job to be annoying. I just need to get some sort of format down. I guess it will just take practice.
