I am feeling like I live in my own little universe lately. I get up in the morning and get ready for work, all without talking to anyone. Well, that's not true, Jim usually calls me on the phone while I am getting ready, and some mornings Angie calls me because she is an early riser. So let's just say, all without talking to anyone in person.
I arrive at work, wish the receptionist Lita, good morning and head to my cubicle. There I remain for most of the day; frantically typing away on my computer while answering my never ending e-mail, getting an occasional phone call, and "doing my job".
The problem is, I am the only woman around and the only person who is not a software developer. My company moved all the departments around; accounting and sales are downstairs, CSR's are over by support, project management and testing are together, etc. The problem is, my boss and I are the only ones in 'marketing'. That means my cubicle is by his office door, which is right, smack-dab in the middle of all the developers.
Now, don't get me wrong, they are all great guys and I really like them alot. It's just that they are not talkers...they are...developers. They are busy developing. I, on the other hand, am a talker. I'll get my work done, but I like to chat with people now and again, just to keep the job interesting. But where I am situated, that doesn't happen.
So....I work quietly at my desk most of the day. Then I wrap it up and go home, again, to a quiet house. Jim calls to talk, but no one else. I fiddle-fart around here, maybe go too the gym, (where again, there are people but people at the gym don't talk to each other) and then I go to bed. I start it all again the next day.
I need some excitement! I need some fun, on a day to day basis. I used to love my job when there were "talkers" all around me, now I just "like" my job. Actually, the job is great but I miss people in my life! Where are they? I am alone too much!
