The other day I talked to an old friend of mine who I haven't talked to for 16 years. After chatting for five minutes, I learned something about myself.

I like working alone in my office from time to time. I know, it's not in line with the Agile dogma (which I think very highly of, by the way), but that's just the way it is. I have put this down to the tendency I have of behaving like a hermit or else that I have the normal social skills of a typical developer. But I now understand that I like working alone from time to time because I am too sociable. When I'm around people, my productivity drops since I just talk to everyone all the time (not that this isn't productive in itself, especially in the long run, but you know what I mean...).

Of course, that must be it, it all makes sense. Everything's coming together. I am too sociable.
