I would say that about 25% of the time I would prefer a bug to a hug.

No, I'm not kidding - from past experience I find that I need about
a quarter of my time to myself, by myself, alone. I use this time as
my prime hacking time, getting work done at a much faster pace than
I do when there is anyone around to distract me. I also tend to use
this time alone to sort out what's been happening to me and to try
to resolve the problems that they day has brung.

When I don't get my time to myself I build up a lot of anger and frustration
and I tend to aim it at the very person who is keeping me from my time
alone - it usually tends to be quite unpleasant for all involved.

Does anyone else out there need significant amounts of time alone in order
to maintain your sanity?
