I sucksucksuck at making phone calls in Japanese.

Especially to people I've never met. Especially when calling out of the blue to ask if their band would like to play at the Prefectural International Festival in eleven days. Especially when I'm not sure if I'm being overly polite or obtuse or conversely, not enough of either.

At least they're considering it.

(I procrastinate every time I make these phone calls and it really is something I need to force myself to do - because it's something I'm going to need to do, and do well, if I want to live in Japan as a professional who isn't connected to the ESL industry. But gah, I'm horrid at it.)

That will be all.

Heh! I don;t like making phone calls to begin with, even IN my own language LOL! I have to be in the right mood...then I try to knock them all off in ine morning and get it over with. (And this is without all those courtesy/language issues.... I can't imagine what a hassle it is there!)
