Maybe answering emails is better than talking on the phone, though. You can take more time to calm down before accidentally snapping at someone, and you don't risk them hanging up before you can actually solve their problem (or get your subtly snarky comment in >_> There's a reason I don't work, and will never again work, in any kind of retail or customer service position. Me? Proud? Of course not . . .).
Hmmm. I have mixed feelings about the shirt as well, although I'm leaning negative. Spike is an interesting character, but I feel like dating him wouldn't really lead to an incredibly healthy relationship (in addition to the fact that he wouldn't love the otaku girl, considering that he's pretty obviously in love with someone else). Also, I honestly don't think that anime has affected my standards at all. In fact, my preferred anime men have changed based on real-life men, rather than my preferred real-life men changing based on anime. Seriously, before Dan, I would have been a Sasuke fangirl. I kid you not. But post-Dan, I am very clearly a Rock Lee fangirl for life, and I'm actually marrying Shikamaru (seriously, the man is literally both a genius AND the laziest man I've ever met.), who is not threatening to women in the slightest. It's so clear that his misogynism is all talk and Temari walks all over him :) I want to write more WSC right now!!! Stupid final tomorrow.
