Sometimes I wonder if working from home for so long has turned me into a goblin who cannot be trusted to interact with other people without making it weird.

@evacide and as long as you are fine with it, this is the way it is supposed to be.

@mahryekuh To be fair, my friends are goblins, my family are goblins, and most of my co-workers are goblins. It's a goblin-rich environment.

[mahryekuh@hachyderm.io]

@evacide I dare say that Fedi is also a goblin-rich environment, which is absolutely not a complaint.

@mahryekuh @evacide So comfortable could be. (good)
But work steps into the daily routine. (bad)
Visiting office once a week is a happening! (good)
Timeless and unhandled workmate communications (bad)

[evacide@hachyderm.io]

@mahryekuh Goblin (complimentary).

@evacide you know who is making things weird for me: people who won't offer you a single genuine expression, just their shoddy persona. I'll prefer straightforward weirdos over those regrettable performances any day.

@superpixels @evacide I was about to respond with this!

@evacide Some days I'm part goblin, other days part welcoming hobbit...

Most days I dream there was a national holiday where it was acceptable to walk around town in hooded cloaks and trade trinkets...

@evacide I've come to embrace my goblin side, but it's taken me a while.

@superpixels @evacide I make every zoom meeting weird, and I’m *pretty* sure I was that way *before* working from home for 20 years.

[joe@toot.works]

@evacide Same.

[joshg@mathstodon.xyz]

@evacide relatable. also, strangely gives me hope for working from home

[clickhere@mastodon.ie]

@evacide Wait. I have read this, and suddenly my life makes sense.

Thank you.

@evacide I think that you might have missed a word out both times.

"Then I remember that I have always been a goblin who cannot be trusted to interact with other people without *them* making it weird."

[cleantext@fosstodon.org]

@evacide Hooray for all the normal weird people on this spinning piece of rock.

[lisamelton@mastodon.social]

@evacide Raises hand. Same.
