I used to have trouble saying Kickin Chickin Sandwhich. Loved that sandwich from Zaxbys but lord knows I couldnt say it. My girlfriend would order for me because it would make me self conscious not to...

I'm a video producer/editor, with a moderate stutter. The hardest part was of course the interview but after that talent speaks for itself (no pun intended haha). I used to work in customer service ...

I work as a Customer Service Rep for my company, actually. I take a deep breath whenever that phone starts ringing and I block all the other noises out, and I get through about 80-80% of my phone call...
