I can't understand people who don't need to interact with anyone! Who just sit and work the whole day, looking straight ahead at their screens.
I've moved away from my old team and i 've joined a team where everyone except me has permission to work from home, so the rest of my team doesn't even come into the office, and it's absolutely killing me to be alone.I have to wake up at 4 thirty so that I can leave the house by 5 thirty and avoid horrendous traffic. I usually end up leaving by 5:45 or 5:50, but that's beside the point, and drive for an hour before getting to an office where i sit all by my lonesome.I do a fair amount of social networking; facebook, windows live, gtalk, mxit and most recently twitter, but that's somehow just not enough for me. I need actual people who I can go for actual coffee with and take smoke breaks with and just waste time with.
Even I, being a person who thinks that having g33k status is absolutely cool because of the intellectual connotations that come with geekdom. (Basically if u are a geek,people think you are clever) find it way too hard to sit alone in the car for an hour in the morning, come to work and sit alone for 8 hours and then get back into the car and drive home all alone. This is not what I signed up for.
I guess it's a blessing in disguise that the parents haven't allowed me to move out of the house or I would come home from this alone-ness to a house that is empty and alone...
.I'm ten seconds from losing my mind...
And! my sisters earphones that I've been using to attempt to block out the deafening silence are broken... sigh! it's gonna be a long,long day.
