I find this hilarious for some reason.

So did I, but the people who were there were kind of shocked to see her mental software producing this result.  Clearly she didn't think gayness was real or hadn't seen it... not sure.

My drinking is frequent, but moderate. A couple of days each week I stop for a beer or two and some food after work. I have a handful of favorite bars and kind of alternate amongst them.  As for getting a lot of action... I'm actually not getting any action right now.  I fear I may turn into an angry incel.  :o

I know lots of single ladies who go years without any leads... let alone action.  They're usually older than you but sometimes not.

The new guy has known my boss and most of my co-workers for a very long time. They've been friends since the 1980s. So I would be on thin ice going to my boss to complain about him.

****.  can you wear ear buds at work ?  Find some way to avoid him ?  Go to the basement and do inventory ?  Get a headset and be on 'phone calls' a lot...

The second is that I don't have anything specific to complain about. I'm not sure how annoyed I'm actually should actually be.  I can't go to my boss and say "his jokes are stale" or "I have a vague sense that he doesn't respect me, even though he hasn't actually said anything concrete."    I think mostly my antipathy right now is just that I have to go through the whole process again... prove my value to yet another stranger. Probably over the upcoming days and weeks I will get accustomed to working with him, and get him accustomed to working with me and set boundaries and so on.  Many co-workers who rubbed me the wrong way at first became friends later. I have to assume that this will turn out the same.

OK Well that's a plan.

Haven't been through anything like this before?  My whole life has been like this. 
 

It seems I mistook your post as asking for advice rather than just venting.  You have a plan, so you know what to do.
