Jewel,
You recognize a problem,
and that is prime.
Now all you need
is the tincture of time.

Exactly. Over time the little voice that says: "Geeze, I don't want to call that foul because..." starts to whisper "Oh my, I hope she doesn't make me call one here" and that becomes "Too bad for him but he's gonna get one here". And eventually the little voice is gone! Completely! IMO the key is to focus on making each call as consistently and professionally as possible, and to convince yourself that each & every call you make is the best one anyone can make. And to be a real hardass...errr...hard-head about it.
Anyway, I liked Mick's poem so much I felt a need to post my own. It tends towards "adult" humor, I hope it gets through the "Big Brother" filter:
There once was a hermit named Dave
Who **** a **** ***** in *** ****
He had to *****
It ***** like ****
But think of the money he saved!
