Trouble with working away from home...

luckykaaI do find my colleagues pretty tedious after a while.
Project manager talks about work all the time. And he does like to talk. Other programmer I find a little dull and sort of sexist. Lead programmer is fine, but a little quiet. I can cope with that.
Trouble with all staying in the same hotel is that there's a sort of obligation to eat together and travel in together. I rather like my private cocoon of solitude on the way home. Also like having control over when I travel. Still, there's no real obligation to share. I just need to find an excuse that's better than "You all irritate me".
All I want to do is grab some food quickly (possibly listening to an audiobook) and then retire to my room to read.
Or possibly to visit friends.
grumble...
I prefer a much more friendly class of hotel. If I could arrange my own accommodation, I'd be able to manage somewhere a lot better. Somewhere that cooks breakfast to order, and has free wi-fi (although internet on a stick is so cheap these days I wonder how they can make any money at all). To be fair though, I can have a few things to order, and this morning's pancakes were very tasty.
Need to find a better way to get from the City Centre to Bristol Business park.
Also need to get out more. I'm apparently here for 3 weeks after all.
Anyone do gaming (of any sort) in Bristol these days?
Anyone?
