Because I live on campus and don't go into town much, my social life is quite limited. There is an advantage to being able to walk to work in ten minutes and not suffer through traffic. However, it means that the people I work with are all around all the time.
As you know from previous rants, there are a number of colleagues I find it difficult to work with. However, outside of work, I rather like them. I went out for a school year-end dinner a few days ago, and I rather enjoyed myself. Many of these colleagues that I find unpleasant to work with are actually pleasant and rather charming -- outside of work. They are interesting and funny.
Unfortunately, the largest part of my interaction with them is at work. I wish that I didn't have to work with them; their professional behaviour (or misbehaviour) wouldn't bother me. But, I find it hard to separate my work and social relationships because of my living conditions.
I think I need to get out and meet more people in Dubai more often. I'll mark that down as a goal for next September.
