All of that. :)
There's no one I really feel comfortable chatting with. I have an awkward acquaintance level relationship with my fellow employees. And a complex one with my bosses.
When we move back to our regular offices it will be better. Right now, we're all cramped in a tiny space. It's convenient in some ways, because you know when someone's on the phone, or you can call out questions and answers, but the level of stimulation is high. There isn't even a place for visitors to wait, so when people come in, they're in.
I've lost my private office at the old place though. They've rearranged the rooms, and I'll be sharing. Which is always a bit stressful to be in such close quarters with someone.
But overall, home is better because I can get up and move around. Between chunks of work I can get up and go to the bathroom or have a snack or stretch or cuddle a dog. So I'm not tensely holding myelf over the computer for long stretches of time.
I haven't found a way to do that at work. As I said, there's no one to hang out with since Daddy retired and my best friend died. I get the feeling that everyone who chats quite happily with others accepts me on sufference. I try to avoid the restrooms all day if I can. And the area where we're located is not conducive to a stroll.
I'm physically and emotionally tense, and I stay that way all day. I can't even remember the last time that I went to work and left without knotted muscles feeling awful.
Oh well. I do most of my work at home, and as stressful as it remains at times, that sort of stress doesn't seem to affect my blood sugar as much.
