So in the spirit of attempting to write everyday. I bring you my new Friday segment, “Friends & Family”.
My thought is since Friday is the day for FUN! Looking forward to the weekend and down time we all spend with friends and family, I will use Fridays to focus on these people in my life in some way.
Today I am posing a question regarding Friends. I would LOVE some input from you internet. So here we go: Is it possible to be and remain close friends with someone who is a co-worker? I have personal experience with these situations. I look at it this way, I spend an exorbitant amount of time closed up in a room with these people. It is impossible to not become involved with each others back grounds and daily lives. Seriously, it is not only possible but probable that we will see and interact with these people more in a week than we do our family members. Now for your opinions…please!
I think it’s absolutely possible to be and remain close friends with co-workers. It has, however, been my experience that sometimes when I left the job and moved onto something else, the friendship didn’t translate. That is, it was a friendship of convenience and physical proximity.
But possible? Absolutely.
