I don't think that makes you a weirdo. I feel the same. I wouldn't be willing to stay in a job where I didn't feel that way!

However, I simply cannot work in an open office. It's far too stressful, and I have great difficulty actually getting quality work done in that setting.

I am exactly the opposite. I honestly couldn't care less about things like a gym, etc. What I care about is being able to work to the best of my ability.
