Several times over the last few days I have felt
extremely anonymous. Oh, don't get me wrong. Lots
of people here know who I am. Well, not lots, but
more than a handful. I've felt lately that I know
very few of the 938 people that are here. I don't
consider this a bad thing, but since I probably know
only 200 or so of the folks here, The masses sometimes
feel a bit overwhelming. Blame it on being a winterover
or blame it on working nights, but the nameless, faceless
mob is starting to get on my nerves. My last summer, I
was able to put on blinders and spend time with co-workers,
friends and people I generally care about. My attitude
toward the folks I don't know is starting to become as
cold as the weather. I'm not sure if this forecasted
trend will continue but I feel this chilly climate will
continue.

It's ok Tom. They are summer people. You don't have to so much as speak to them if you don't want to. Put on you winter-over badge of honor and walk with the pride of those in the know.
