I used to say I'm phobic of dogs.
Now I guess I'm just nervous around strange dogs, and that doesn't count.
Scenario:
1. Man arrives with water for our office water cooler.
2. Y's dog starts barking loudly at him.
3. I come out of the conference room, interrupting a technical discussion with J., to tell Darren (the dog), "You stop that right now, mister!" and point him back toward Y's office.
4. He obeys me, on all counts, and Y. shuts him in his office.
I'm not surprised I reacted before Y did: I tend to react quickly when startled. What I am surprised by is that while I was startled-nervous, that was it.
I wonder if this applies to dogs I don't know as well as that loud, spoiled black monster. ;)
And meanwhile, work is going okay. Getting stuff done, piece by piece and bit by bit.
