Even those who have met me, but I'm actually quite an antisocial kind of guy. I don't generally like to be around people that much (unless you're going to talk guns!). I avoid large crowds because the only thing worse than having to hang around people you don't want to be around is being forced to hang around a LOT of people you would rather not. This is probably why I like the Internet. I can deal with people via chat or email.
So today is "Sprit Day" at work, and I forgot to dress casual and bring my Ouija board. Everyone keeps dropping by asking me if I'm going to go do Activity X like I really want to be around these people any more than I have to. Instead, I'm going to leave to go home and change and conveniently forget to come back. Maybe go look at cars instead.
Get IN there! Mix. Mingle. Tell a joke. Laugh at other peoples jokes. Hold a baby. Pick nits. Make friends and eye contact. Pat shoulders. Give praise. LEAN on somebody. Get OVAH yo-selves! You in the Wurl and the wurl is in YOU!
