Yeah, 'isolated' is the right word. I don't mind the peace and quiet, but I dislike knowing I'm sitting here, twiddling my thumbs, when there could be stuff going on elsewhere to keep me busy. Well, that, and the amusement factor of being able to interact with people. The meetings and presentations where I've got to do a lot of the talking -- yeah, those wear me out. But getting up in the morning and knowing I can stop by and chat with someone, bounce ideas off folks, get input and insight I don't have myself... I miss that.
Still, what I'd love best is to be in charge of my own team. I am so overdue, I want it so much, and I really hope that today's interview reveals this is -- if not a current element -- a possibility down the road. I'm tired of always being the "and then that's our analyst over there" hanger-on. Sigh.
However, now I should stop stalling and go take a shower and figure out what the hell I'm going to WEAR, where are my clean blouses? and then figure out what to print out & take with me, since they asked for SRS and UML and what I do have is proprietary. Crap, I miss the days of Word-documents, when I could save a copy and go back and strip out the identifying information... and I didn't even think to do it at any point while working (I never do, ugh) so I could keep a copy for my portfolio down the road. Bad planning!

(Yes, I'm still stalling.)
