Flash Thoughts: Have I forgotten how to Socialise?
Has freelancing killed my Party Season skills?
‘Flash Thoughts’ is a new segment of Just Jools: things that have crossed my mind and are quick reads. In this Flash Thought, I wonder if all my years of Freelancing have done something to my social skills…
In 24 hours, I’ll be at my office Christmas party. As someone who hasn’t been to one of these in a hot minute, this situation has me asking myself…
Have I forgotten how to socialise with big groups of people?
Tomorrow, I’ll be with a lovely team I genuinely enjoy working with, and meeting people from other sites that I’ve only spoken to via email. I’m looking forward to the whole thing, as it’ll be guaranteed excellent company and a laugh, but that’s not stopping me from worrying about my social skills… and if, after years of being a solo freelancer, they actually still exist.
