I didn't care much for human contact myself. This is typical for a geek.
OTOH, when I changed my job from technician to manager, I had to
reinvent myself. These days I'm hugging and kissing all over the place.
The most unexpected thing about all this is that I'm actually good at
communicating with people. My dad was always a great communicator. He
was the kind of guy that could inspire trust in people. I never thought
I would be.
