I second the "Ug, networking."
Yeah, you hit the nail on the head - it's a lifestyle and not one I like. I'd rather sit at home by myself than see just about anyone, even people I like a lot. I neglected to do it for a few years and it's taken me two years of slowly building back up to a point where I can tolerate it.

Unfortunately, it's how I get most of my work. I have to keep doing it
Thanks for this!
