things are very busy here. yesterday i enjoyed a delightful swim in the pool first thing in the morning, but after that it was go go go for the entire day. i'm afraid that being around so many people all the time is going to eventually wear me down. i find it especially difficult to hangout socially with my 50-something colleagues. i don't mind having meals together, but standing around talking while they knock back drinks until midnight is not how i want to spend my time. they like to give people (especially younger people) a hard time if they can't keep up with them. needless to say that's annoying because it's not that i can't, it's that i don't want to. i'm really hoping to have this evening to just hang out alone to re-energize. i'm going to try to explain to them that i function at my best when i get enough time by myself. not sure if that will make sense to them, but i want to articulate that me spending them evening in is more a matter of necessity than anything else. i suppose i'd be able to spend time watching them drink if i wasn't craving some alone time. i'm definitely in the minority in this regard.
oh will you take me as i am?
