MILDLY ANNOYING COWORKER: Are you going to the company holiday party this evening?
ME: No.
M.A.C.: Why not?
ME: Because I hate people.
M.A.C.: *laughs uproariously*

Non-misanthropes are weird.

[jazzfish]

No kidding. Also extreme extroverts.

My company is having a two-part holiday party: today we all go out to see The Last Jedi, and then a dinner tomorrow. But I am in fact going....

[jazzfish]

It's entirely possible that if that were my company holiday party, and I felt more than "distantly cordial" about any of my coworkers, I'd be much more interested in it. I feel a vague twinge of regret at not having gone to any of the company parties when they were at Science World.

I have an extrovert friend who is like "IT IS COLD AND IT SUCKS COME OUT WITH ME"


Like... she's missing the whole point of life right now.

I'm an extrovert with self-diagnosed SADD, so everyone should come out and play with me in the cold sun! Come plaaaaay!

... But once the light disappears, everyone should come to my house to entertain me because like hell I'm going out there. It's cold and dark and scary.

*laugh* That seems like a reasonable set of desires.

I'm not saying I'd indulge you, mind, but it seems reasonable.

LOL This is basically them exactly. I love visiting tho, HAVING VISITORS NOW, that's an entirely different thing XD

THIS IS WHAT BLANKETS AND TEA AND BOOKS WERE INVENTED FOR

nice.

Hey, I'm going to be in Vancouver Monday-Tuesday, but only for like 18 hours. Maybe next time we can grab a drink or a bite to eat together?

[jazzfish]

Definitely!

I mean, Monday night is the one night of the week I'm reliably free, if you'd be up for short-notice dinner or coffee (well, tea) or some such. (email jazzfish at warpmail dot net)
