Journalists Are Socially Awkward

I've been working at a newspaper this summer and one thing that strikes me everyday is how socially awkward the newsroom is. People send emails to the person sitting next to them while others talk about sex with the f-word liberally sprinkled through the conversation. These are things I'd never do. I wonder is it because I'm young and don't quite feel like an adult yet?

Or is it a weird newsroom code that I haven't learned? I almost feel that people talk about things they'd never talk about with others if they were outside of the newsroom. I guess I'm a newsroom prude-I'm not delving into those conversations until I'm ready.
