Face time, or lack thereof....
Sep. 11th, 2011 01:41 pmA couple of weeks ago, Jin (our data curator) got a new job somewhere else. So now our team is down to 4 people right now. 3 of them are on the 2nd floor of my building; I'm in the 1st floor. There are days that go by that I don't have any contact with my teammates. I try to keep them informed of my daily status via email and IMs, but it's not the same as face-to-face contact.
I'm really wondering if the corporate culture I'm currently in is "every man for himself". I have lunch alone, in the cafeteria, and see most everyone else in groups.
In a typical week, I drive to work alone. I work alone. I go home alone. About the only social contact I have is my mens' group on Thursday nights.
This is why I got involved in so many clubs and organizations -- to escape the boredom, the doldrums, and the loneliess I experience in my life. I've decided to take a break from most of them, to focus on the decluttering work I need to do at home.
