Yes, I am aware of the irony of using a photo associating me with a very team-oriented job like firefighting for this post.
I was minding our booth at the market today
and was just quietly sitting there enjoying being the calm as the stream of people and commerce flowed around me.
Unfortunately, every time I would just start to relax, one of the other vendors would decide that I looked bored and decide that I needed something to do. My neighbour to the left decided that he needed to talk to me...and talk...and talk...and talk. The one to my right was a little better. And just when I got free of them, the one behind me decided that I needed something to do with my hands and asked me to fix something.
I have no problem being friendly, and they were legitimately nice people. But, as an introvert, I have no problem getting lost in my own thoughts. I'm not bored, I don't need something to do. I am perfectly content to sit and enjoy being the calm in the midst of busy-ness. Its also when I do some of my most creative thinking and work on my writing.
So, needless to say, I didn't get anything written today though I have ideas floating around my head that will end up on paper soon enough. Watch for more stories from me soon!
I know exactly what you mean. At work, I love to do my own thing and complete my tasks independently. Then somebody assumes that I am lonely or bored they decide to come to talk to me and I have to find a way to disengage from the conversation without being rude. It then takes me about 15 minutes afterward to again figure out what I was doing.

I know! If I was a jerk, it would be so much easier...but trying to find a polite way to say "GO AWAY" just doesn't happen very easily!

@mwoodall, I may be invited to participate in a b&w 7 day photography challenge and as a part of this challenge, I would need to nominate one person every day to join in . Would you and/or @prairiepinner be interested in participating? It's a full week's worth of posts and it may help your ranking. What do you think?

I can't commit to a full week...I have enough trouble getting on and commenting on things (as you can see). I'll be honest, I'm not here for the ranking but for the experience and community, so I'll pass at the moment, but thank you for thinking of us!
