I enjoy my solitude. I also enjoy being around people for short periods of time. However, after a long, very busy day with several dozen phone calls (60!!!), the only thing I want to do when I leave work is to just be alone and have peace and quiet!
Usually the ride home is ok, and other passengers in the car just keep to themselves or read a book. But today!!! OMG!
There was a woman with a companion helper in the van with me. The woman would not stop talking!! If the driver said something to her she would respond and then say "You know what Taya? The driver asked me .......and I told him ........" and then she would go on and repeat the full conversation as if we hadn't heard it for ourselves. As soon as there was a second of silence she would start up with "Can I ask you something......" to her companion.
Drove me freaking crazy!!! Why is it that some people just can't sit in silence and have a need to fill every waking minute with chatter?!
Now that I'm home, I'm relishing my peace and quiet!
