You know, after I wrote this I got to thinking, "Why don't I have have more social Zoom calls?"

The answer is that I never was good at social things like inviting people to coffee.

But it doesn't help that we're taught to "protect" our time and avoid unnecessary calls and meetings. Presumably so we can write more lines of code, close more tickets, or earn more points like the story and other anecdotes here.

I think I may try something new in my calendar. Worst case I'll end up sitting in front of my computer alone with a block for the next hour and nothing to do but work on all those things I need to do anyways.
