I used to be all...well, business at the office. No personal information of any weight, and absolutely no trash talking about anyone else.

I was nice to everyone, and they were nice to me. It was pleasant.

I think Allyson textually yelled at me about forming bonds at work, and I figured I'd give it a try.

Which is why I now get a meta laugh out of walking past a co-worker and cracking him up with a hand signal for "Dear Lord, she's on the phone again????"

I still have my hard and fast rules--that one wedding was the only time I've knowingly seen co-workers outside of the office other than krav (for which they're paying, so it's all good). But the cohort-having is pretty fun.

Which reminds me of the term work-wife or work-husband. Would anyone here say they have one?

I've only recently heard the term.

I think I have a work-dog.

I do not in anyway need that plane.

I used to refer to myself as my boss's bitch, but I think that's not the same thing.

We can make it pink. And sparkly. And paint monkeys on it.

While at a Toy-R-Us for their going out of business sale and spending money that probably should not have been spent (but getting cool and heavily discounted stuff for the kids), I saw the Hello Kitty DVD player. Wow is that pink.

Huh. I just got a letter from the landlord asking if we want to buy the house we're renting.

On the one hand, great location.

On the other hand, we were thinking of going to something with, say, another half a bathroom.

On the other other hand, priced below anything else in the neighborhood.

And again I say, huh.

edit: way below, I think.

That term bugs the shit out of me.

(Which is to say, yes.)

What about a work Beavis?

Amych, bathrooms can be added. Location can not be changed.

If you can, go for it.

I don't know if I'd characterize us as work spouses, but my company's long-suffering DP manager and I definitely vent to each other about work stress and cow-workers more than with other folks around the office.
