And yet...he paces around in public areas of the house during phone calls. He paces in his own office - I can hear his footsteps. He just has to pace while on phone calls. He's also LOUD on phone calls...as if talking louder is necessary when on teleconferences.
And then. He likes to come downstairs to visit the dog. Many, many times. The dog prefers to be with me in my office. He comes into my office, sits next to her on the couch, and talks to her. DEAR GOD I'm trying to focus get the F out of my office!!!! Or he will just come in and sit with his cup of tea? WTF? Get out! It's not always that I am needing to be alone to focus....it's more that I need to be alone PERIOD. People say introverts are lucky during this quarantine because we already prefer to be at home. Not true. Introverts need ALONE TIME and ALONE TIME is in ZERO SUPPLY during this quarantine. So that's making me even more crazy.
Yes, I will close the door but when my door is shut for a long time he peeks in to make sure I'm ok. You read that right. He cracks open the door and peeks in. GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT.
