So I was remote pairing with my partner at work today. We use Skype to talk and VNC to share the desktop. I have done this at another company previously and it worked pretty well there, but I notice that I behave differently when pairing remotely.
Normally, I am a little chatty and a little flirty (I am not outright flirting...just gentle teasing), but it seems that when I am remotely pairing I get more outgoing. I am funnier, more willing to say things that come to my mind, and more willing to just be myself.
I haven't figured out why this is, but I have noticed it before when I did remote pairing at another job. I know you are probably thinking that I am attracted to my partner which is why I am being more flirty (since he isn't there to visibly reject me). This is absolutely not the case. I am not in the least attracted to this person. I don't want to be mean, but he isn't terribly attractive.
So, tomorrow I get to do the whole remote pairing thing again. I think that this is going to be good for my ego anyway. I needed some time to build it back up after it was crushed for no particular reason.
