Phobias
I know HR can't say "don't apply if..." but if there is a vacancy here at the Regional Support Centre we would suggest that if you suffer from any of the following, this isn't the place for you (Please note: - this is not a serious article!)
- Ablutophobia - Fear of washing or bathing (for our benefit)
- Bibliophobia - An abnormal fear of books
- Cyberphobia - Irrational fear of computers or technology
- Decidophobia - Fear of making decisions
- Epistemophobia - Fear of knowledge
- Friggaphobia - Fear of Fridays
- Glossophobia Fear of speaking in public or of trying to speak
- Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia - Fear of long words (sorry to all who suffer from this!)
- Ideophobia - Fear of ideas
- Kathisophobia - Fear of sitting down
- Logophobia - Fear of words (Question: if you suffer from this why are you looking at an eMagazine?)
- Metathesiophobia - Fear of changes
- Neophobia - Fear of anything new
- Ochophobia - Fear of vehicles
