Actually, I do find this helpful. :P I have a bad habbit of getting nervous when calling someone I don't personally know, and when I'm nervous I babble. Hasn't stopped me from making the calls (and pestering family and friends into making the calls) but it's a little embarassing to suddenly catch yourself rambling to a secretary who probably stopped caring somewhere around "I think the senator should support the dream act".

Yeah. You should hear me when I get an answering machine. . . even if it's my own *mothers* answering machine, the babble button starts. . . sigh.
