I really don't like strangers. I'm friendly to people at the cash registers but otherwise don't talk to anyone I don't know. I know a ton of people and have collected many people over the years so I don't feel I need to go out and collect new people.

There's just so many people. If someone has some great personality, then I get to know them and might be friends. If they're shy, or never talking programmers, I never say anything to them. One guys been here 1 year and I've never said anything. One girls been there 7 years and we've never spoken on the same floor. You can play the social game and it helps you but who has time for that. Get to know the people that you have time for and that have good personalities, and the rest, only interact with them if you somehow are required to or if they might approach you for some reason.

There's so many people, I just can't catch up. I'll just go years forgetting to talk to people. One guy disappeared from 2006-2012 and I couldn't remember how long he'd been gone. haha. Some people come back for a year before I remember to say welcome back.

At one point I was trying to just do a spreadsheet of everyone and trying to at least talk to everyone, but there's just so much going on, I don't even have time for that.
