Why does calling the OR's office make me feel like a naughty schoolgirl?

in Bankruptcy & living with it
Just an update really,I called the OR today about the increase in my outgoings but also in my wage. He said he would send out some forms to me. He was perfectly civil on the phone but why do I end up in a cold sweat and feeling panicky whenever I have to contact him?

    Put your hair in bunches.
    Put on a pair of specs.
    Dress in a schoolgirl outfit with short skirt/stockings etc
    Sit on the desk, back straight, pencil in mouth - then phone.

    Be in TOTAL control of the conversation........................................


    (and if I bothered to read all the thread, I would have noticed this has already been suggested!!)

    :rotfl: well as I'm in my 20s it's not a hot flush (or at least I hope it's not!) and as for a crush, I don't think my fiance would be too impressed. It's just that being a teacher, I'm not used to feeling like the shoe is on the other foot..... ;)

    and :rotfl: at Phil's post too.
