That's almost like having Skype...

Well, people are different. I guess we introverts need to find some other job, because we are obviously no longer welcome in IT.

Sadly I feel this is very true. IT was the last refuge of the introverts and social awkwards/outcasts. Now that the extroverts have taken over and tend to be the ones making the rules, IT is becoming more and more unbearable. Couldn't just let us have this one thing?
