upfront - surface layer this is an odd question... but I'm a workaholic freelancer (no co-workers). Also, regular group turned intro not-regular.
how do you find people to play with? 😕

Try posting in local game stores.
Local game store posting is a good idea. Some play online (Discord, etc...) when they cannot find people to play with live. I am left with doing video chat to sit in 2x's per month with my traditional gaming group (if no one is sick, tired, or working long hours). I went to Play-by-Post (blog-text style) to fill in the gaps and scratch that itch. It let's me post several times a week and play/GM in several games at my leisure, when I have the time. I just can't set aside the time to regularly join another live or video group. Been doing PBP into the 4th (?) year now. Consistent group of players. ( http://nemeses.xyz/gaming/phpBB3/index.php )
Sometimes finding a 'good', consistent, group is just a lucky blessing.
Post in a FB group or on meet up or at your LGS in the message board but offer to run a session of one of the starter sets. Even if you’re not all that experienced as a GM, offering to host and run a game generally has (in my experience) better feedback than trying to find a coveted spot in someone else’s game.

I'll second that recommendation. I've also found that running games at local conventions helps me meet other players, gauge their styles, and then offer invites to those whom I find agreeable.
