fitting in or trying to.
it's always interesting to get to know co-workers. especially so when they're nowhere within physical distance of you. i've gone through this before but in sort of an opposite way where i worked with people that were far but had some that were close and this time i'm the one that's just completely removed. and i'm ok with this. except that i don't know any of my team well enough to just fire off a message that simply asks 'is it at all possible that <name not included> is just an unreasonable ass?'. my instinct says yes and i suspect others would agree. still, at the risk of offending someone i'll keep the thought to myself, work off this assumption and move on. getting them all figured out at this rate may take years.
