I never thought it particularly among my skills either, nor am I the first person anyone home would have ever accused of being agreeable, but it wasn't difficult to adapt. There are rather a lot of people here who are not my concern and therefore I don't particularly care what their opinions of me might be so long as due respect is given and for the most part - with one or two insignificant exceptions - I've found that to be the case. They work with me, and I'll work with them. They become an inconvenience, and - well, you've seen plenty of that.
The only thing I regret about this course of action is that I miss our little chats. But we do what we must for the sake of the cause, or the sake of amusement. But should you ever find yourself bereft of something to do, I rarely decline your company.
