I am going to work every day, around lots of people, wishing I could be home.
Pretty much this. I'm reasonably sure I'm doing way more work at the office than the ones who are working from home.
Lucky me, I have to start training a new staff next week and that would be impossible to do remotely.0 -
I would finally volunteer to drive my Aunt Gloria to her foot doctor appointments on Saturday mornings.
While sitting in the waiting room I would make small talk with the front desk ladies and ask them in earnest how their day's transmissions are going, and if they are just as surprised as I am by the unseasonably warm weather we are having - my gosh!0 -
Okay, human contact that's not my family? Slightly more-ish. However, not at the risk of killing them, or killing me. I got enough life left (I think) that I'd like to continue to enjoy.
I miss having friends to goof off with, but they've been long gone.0 -

This except 5 kids.... one a toddler... :drinker: keeps me sane
I can relate this this on a deep level ladies! I need a DIFFERENT kind of human contact. And, love my kids of course but....I walk for 2 hours a day sometime just to have quietness and alone time.❤️0 -

I just need a job. The only human contact I crave, atm, is with a hiring mngr.2

I usually WFH, so the gym was my main social activity and opportunity to perv, I mean, people watch 👀. When this is over, the regulars at the gym are all getting bum slaps3

I took one of those mbti tests again and after 3 weeks with my children i am no longer an extrovert. I need a hole. In the ground. With pizza. I don’t even need wifi. Just absolute. silence.5

God no. I always wonder if business would do away with open plan offices if they realised how bat *kitten* crazy /anxious those of us who are introverted get when we HAVE to be surrounded by people for 8-10 hours straight until we hide in the toilets for some quiet. This is bliss, and somehow my work is managing just fine remotely.3

The time I like is the rush hour, 'cause I like the rush.
The pushing of the people, I like it all so much.
Shake those hands, shake those hands.0 -

I feel your pain. As a full blown introvert, I agree... if I could have a job where I work from home & have rare contact with others, I'd love it. I don't even like to talk on the phone to anyone... I'd rather email or text. When I was a computer programmer, I loved never seeing anyone & being encased by a 6' partition... my work cocoon.1 -

I've been in the high capacity seating arrangements for years and dislike it. But, I also don't like high walled cubes. I've found that mid height cubes works best for me. Until the noise gets so bad that I can't hear. Then I snap and tell everyone around me to STFU as loud as I can, and don't care if it's not polite or politically correct.
Don't mind WFH. But, I do like the office dynamics as well, since it's very easy to turn to one of my teammates and ask a question instead of waiting for them to respond via IM or email.

I’ve been trying to get someone to call my mother and tell her to text me because I don’t do telephones. She keeps texting and leaving voicemails that say “call me.” IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE TEXT!2 -

Sure, I agree with all of that. My 6' partition was in a job where I handled payroll & other confidential systems, so they felt I needed to be boxed in from prying eyes. It was a bit isolating, mainly as I was in a corner, but having also worked in that open cubicle nightmare, where you can't get away from noise or smell of any sort (like those who eat highly aromatic food at their desk or speak too loudly), I'll gladly take the former anytime.0 -

Gimme her number. I’ll let her know. Also.....I don’t mind talking on the phone (unless it’s to businesses) so she could get her “chat fix” with me and I’ll break down your situation for her as well. Win/Win2 -

I think that someone could be you. Just pick up the damn phone and call her, Nothing like coming straight from the horses mouth.
I'm so glad my parents don't text.0 -

Yep, job specific requirements need to be adhered to. Anything that confidential, or classified needs to be protected. Some food I don't mind if it's eaten at the desk. But, others, no way. I typically try to eat away from my desk for a break and being considerate to others.1
