No people, no problems

   I have recently decided that I would prefer a job where I don't have to talk to people.  Apparently, no such job exists.  I have scoured the internet trying to find something that will pay the bills but does not require me to interact with other human beings during the course of the work day.  Evidently excellent communication is a highly valued skill.  It is a skill I happen to possess but do not wish to exercise any more.  It probably has to do with being tired and encountering cranky folks on a regular basis for the last two weeks. 
   A friend, a number of years ago, in a similar state and in the same vocation stated vehemently "No people, no problems."  I laughed.  Now I think she was onto something.  I want to talk to people I know and like.  I can do that after work.
    I am already planning my revolt for the large organizational meeting that is coming up at the end of the month.  The planning team who always wants to encourage us to mingle assigns us to table groups. Generally speaking there is no one at my table that I know.  This year I have decided to pick my own seat beside one of my friends.   Who knows what chaos will ensue?  However, I am feeling contrary and anti-social.  Though I am quite sure this mood will pass, I am not sure it will be in time for the meetings.
    Thank goodness for holidays which are just a few weeks away, otherwise I don' t know what would happen.  Maybe I would be come a selective mute, unable to speak between eight and five.  What an interesting thought!
