Hangups

[msmemory_archive]

I don't know what my problem is with calling vendors. It's not like I need their love and esteem. But it takes sheer force of will to call a stranger, even right out of the yellow pages, and ask them if they are able/willing to provide the service I need.

Success achieved in small way today however: left voicemail for a house painter from Watertown. Also confirmed that Ace Hardware can repair my screen door if I bring it in (turnaround about one week).

Put me in a business context and I have no problem calling up a vendor, ordering a twenty thousand dollars in hardware, and then harrassing them over the next four weeks as they miss deadlines.

Ask me to call the library and find out when they close... oh, thank Berners-Lee for the web.
