Never heard the term before. I think I probably have a work wife, except that we are friends outside of work as well.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oooh, that sounds exciting, amych.
Yay msbelle!
I have a class-wife. Although I do see her from time to time after school. We often refer to ourself as "the same person"
I have one of those, although we are generally BFF. But people are always calling us by the other's name.

What is even happening?
Which reminds me of the term work-wife or work-husband. Would anyone here say they have one?
I had a work husband before I met Scott, although I probably wouldn't have seen it that way, at the time. It got awkward once Scott (who worked for the same company, but 7 floors away) and I were serious. To be clear, it wasn't awkward because of Scott. I think work-husband had a problem with it.
W-h then dated a new woman in our group who turned out to have enormous issues, and he had terrible problems with her. I think she might have gotten pregnant and miscarried, but our work-marriage was strained by then and I'd been made acting supervisor through a weird confluence of events.
Soon after, I got a better job and left the group entirely, landing in an office, not far from the cubical area where we'd all sat. I was just thinking about this last night, because we watched The Office, (U.S. version) and I found myself 'shipping * Jim and Pam, and then realizing they reminded me a little of w-h, and me, before things got complicated.

I guess my work situation is complicated by the fact that my big bosses and a couple of other co-workers are actually relatives of mine. So, closer ties and out-of-office socializing, but not as much commiserating about the office.

This has been such a week at work, that a bunch of us are going out for drinks this evening. This has happened all of no times before, although we talked about it one other time. All I have to say is at least it's almost over. Only 2.5 hours left, and I'm not staying more than 1/2 hour late today. I'm not.

Stay strong, libkitty.
Okay, these don't look real. I mean, I know they're not, but they look unrealer.
