I asked my boss for a computer in a remote room and I plan on going up there to work for a large portion of the day. I have tried to just sit in my office and not talk to people but they refuse to respect my wishes.

But better pay is always a good thing.
Same for my coworkers. They are literally like a high school clique. And ironically, we work at a high school as paraprofessionals for special education students. They talk about their personal problems at work and are constantly making plans to go drinking, which I believe is unprofessional to talk about at work, especially when there are students nearby. From what I hear of the things they have said or talked about, if I would say any of the same things, I can bet a hundred dollars I would get in trouble. I have decided I will be distancing myself from them a bit more. Not being rude to them, but just keeping to myself more so than before.
