How to Torture An Introvert
Walk them around an entire law firm and introduce them to Every. Single. Person. who works there. I need a nap now. I have no more smile-and-handshaking left in me for the day. When I visualize how I feel, I see a turtle pulling its head inside its shell or a little kid who doesn't want to be talked to anymore facing a corner and putting their hands over their eyes.
P.S. To the person who asked if I had an exit interview at the last firm, no, I did not. Probably because I was a temp. Actually, even at the places where I've left on much better terms, I've never had an exit interview where I'm asked why I am leaving. At most it's "Here's your Cobra info, give us your key, off you go."

Oh my. They do that at my firm. I hated it...and I feel sorry for all the newbies they parade around. And like you are going to remember everybody's name? HA! The first firm I worked at had a 'community photo board' where all the employees had cheesy, 'candid' shots of themselves around the office. It was goofy, but it was better than all the handshaking. And I didn't have to douse myself in purell afterwards, either.
Oh yeah, forgot about the whole temp thing. Yeah, temps usually don't get an exit interview.
Hopefully this job is much better for you but still has lots of fun stories for us.
Yeah, I know one of these days I'll actually create an account and not be the random anonymous commenter.
