Well, people in prisone sometimes get so used to being in prison they don't want to leave. It's called institutionalization. There is a whole world full of people out there, all we have to do is make our own relationships, as opposed to those artificial one created for us in offices. It's the beginning of a whole new world, in which life revolves around you, not your company. I don’t know if you ever saw shawshank redemption?

That's not just because I'm an introvert! It may be because I do very different kinds of work from the people I most enjoy socializing with. Friends that get made anywhere aside, I have always felt alienated by the social scene in the office. I'm a writer and abstract thinking sort who tends to hang out with manual and visual people. I'd probably be quite happy sitting with a laptop in the middle of a hair salon. Sitting in an office with rooms full of people who actually like to sit always felt like being dead.

It's amazing how much we have to pay these days. I only live about 9km way from work, but I still end up spending quite a bit each week. Thanks, Richard Rinyai www.theprofessionalassistant.net Hi,
