Liking an activity doesn't mean it needs to be an integral part of your workplace every minute of the day. I like playing the drums, but I would never do it in the same room as my coworkers while they're trying to write software.

I want to work at work. When I want to socialize (or do anything else which might distract others), I wait for a break and go outside.
