I
have
worked
at
ad
agencies
most
of
my
career,
so
the
young
singles
always
hung
out
a
lot
after
work
and
would
even
take
weekend
trips
together
in
some
cases.
It's
probably
not
a
coincidence
that
I'm
married
to
a
former
co-worker!
LOL
Now
however,
I
don't
really
socialize
with
work
people.
For
one,
we
don't
live
near
the
office,
so
there
isn't
commonality
of
where
we
live
in
most
cases.
Also,
we
just
don't
go
out
as
much
now
that
we
are
married
with
a
child.
So,
our
friends
on
weekends
tend
to
be
people
in
similar
life
situations
as
we
are,
or
our
neighbors.

With
this
job,
I
have
not,
but
with
past
jobs
I
have.
Kate 19th Apr
if
i
have
a
true
'friend'
at
work
then
yes!
Actually
since
i
moved
to
this
city
after
graduating
from
college
-
all
of
my
friends
i
either
met
through
work
or
I
am
related
to!
haha!
And
one
friend
i
met
through
my
framily
(her
dad
and
my
aunt
worked
together
for
like
20+
years).
Generally
though,
i
only
socialize
on
weekends
with
one
person
i
work
with
who
i
also
consider
a
friend.
However,
all
my
other
friends
USED
to
be
co-workers
and
we
just
became
much
better
friends
after
we
stopped
working
together.

As
a
general
rule,
I
don't
spend
my
week-end
with
"some
colleagues".
I
usually
spend
my
free
time
with
the
people
I
care
about
a
lot
--
they
usually
fall
under
one
of
these
2
categories:
family
or
friends.
Sometimes,
I
spend
time
with
people
that
I
have
something
important
in
common
with,
and
as
a
result,
there
is
a
good
chance
we
become
friends.
The
thing
is
that
I
made
some
really
good
friends
at
work
...
but
then
I
started
to
call
them
"friends"
not
"colleagues".
JDaffron 19th Apr
Nope,
I
don't
have
time
to.
Besides,
all
but
1
of
my
co-workers
are
married
and
most
have
families
of
their
own,
so
they're
busy
in
their
own
right.
The
one
single,
a
divorced
guy
in
his
mid-50s,
is
generally
involved
with
hsi
kids.
On
occassion,
I've
asked
him
for
help
on
something
when
my
hubby
can't
do
it
and
isn't
available.
Considering
that
he's
borrowed
some
of
our
toos
(i.e.
a
post
hole
digger
and
other
things),
I
think
it's
a
fair
trade
.
But
as
far
as
socalizing,
nobody's
got
time.

Nope!
I see those people all week! No need to see them on the weekends. Unless there is a work function or some huge event, like a wedding. My favorite line to one of my girlfriends is....... People you work with arent your friends. You can be friendly, you can eat lunch each day together, you can even email all the time and have tons of inside jokes, but....... they are not your friends. Not REAL friends. Just coworker friends. When I was single all of my friends were my coworkers, as we get older that changes. She was a coworker of mine.!! hahaah Finding a REAL friend at work is a huge gift. If you find one,you are very lucky. Over the years, I have found maybe one at each place I have worked. This is just MY experience., ;)

Occasionally.
I
think
I
would
more
if
I
lived
closer
to
where
I
worked.
When
I
was
single,
all
my
close
friends
were
work
colleagues.
Now
that
you
brought
it
up,
it
is
really
interesting
to
think
about
all
that
has
changed
since
then.
