*headdesk* A belated very happy birthday to you from me! Sorry for missing it! *hangs head*
As for the phone calls: *HUGS* I can relate - there was a time on my job when I really feared the phone. Luckily, that is over by now, most of the times, but it still feels awkward to me whenever I feel insecure.
Would it maybe help if you wrote down what you want to ask and how you'd like to ask it before you made the first call? In that case, if everything fails you can just read it off the page, and if it goes well, you will become better and more secure with ever call you finished.
At least that is probably what I would try to do. (Just my two cents).
As for the birthday dinner - darn. Hope it will be a wonderful evening, anyway. *sends more hugs*
