Where do the introverts work?

I am aware that my personality traits are not the most desirable. I am totally not customer service oriented. I can be nice, I can use good manners, but I am not chit-chatty. My husband says I lack the "BS factor". I'd rather be left alone all day in a back office somewhere that I could do my work in peace. I like to do the same exact thing every day. Changes in my daily routine really annoy me. Do you have any ideas of where I could work? I'm going on an interview tomorrow w/ a temp agency re: data entry. In the past I've worked with Medical Records. I need about $12/hour. Can you suggest places where I might possibly fit in and be happy? Retail and Reception work are totally not in the picture. I have 2 years of college in Interior Design, but no degree. I consider myself creative and analytical. I'm a dependable worker w/ high work ethic. I take my job seriously and just need predictability and a routine.

1. Data entry is the best area for you because you don't deal with people. I knew a group of people who did computer codes and they were really nice but reclusive people so that was the best job for them, dealing with their computer all day and with people minimally. The good news is that you know yourself really well.
2. oh yeah, i have the same personality, except for the fact that i wouldn't want my job to be the same all the time. i want it to be different all the time. otherwise, i'd get bored and wouldn't see the point in working... try graphic design. that is what i am studying in. and it may not be the same exact thing every day but, you do sit in front of a computer all by your lonesome most of the time.
3. You sound like you'd be comfortable in a cubicle. I wish I knew of one to refer you to.
4. You sound like you were born to be a programmer. You would normally be required to work in a small team, but the job would theoretically be the same all the time. You would use your analytical skills to assess the problem, and your creativity to figure how to solve it. I would seriously suggest you look into that career field, and if you're still interested, get to work learning a language.
5. I'm an introvert and I can't stand change in a routine too. I got a degree in computer programming and find that very comfortable. However, my job is very highly customer driven. In a way it helps to draw you out and not be so introverted. I don't think there would be any perfect job that has all the things you want. You will find some of them but you will have to deal with other things you don't like.
6. try the library or the gas stations
