Two of my closest friends are my coworkers. I can't go home and talk about my day with my husband and friends. My coworkers became my close friends because we go through hell together and we're each others support systems. When I have rough days, it's them I call crying because confidentiality prevents me from talking to anyone else about it.
To survive in my field, you HAVE to have people at work you trust completely and can rely on to have your back.

You go through more horror stories than I do, but nobody truly understands being a teacher other than other teachers. Plus we have the whole confidentiality thing over our heads as well. I work with kids all day, I want to like and be friends with the few adults in the building around me.
UO? I love greys at any age. I'm 29 and have a streak when my hair's not colored (I have hair identity crises every few months) and I lurve it.
Edit: unnecessary apostrophe
Did not read the quote and thought you meant Grey's Anatomy at first. I was confused thinking there was some sort of age cut-off I was unaware of.
We discussed this a few weeks ago, too. Bring on the grey! I have one streak and MH says it looks like Rogue from X-Men. Maybe that's why I'm okay with it.

I used to love crystal Pepsi when I was sick and told to have only clear liquids because I hated sprite. So I finally had a soda/pop that I could drink.
I've worked in an environment where out of office friendships were not advocated and that I really didn't feel like I wanted to be friends with those people outside of work anyway. It fucking sucked.
Being able to shit talk our boss over a beer (with him sitting at the table because that's how we roll) is so much better. The teamwork is better. The atmosphere is much better. The standoffish people who never socialize are more difficult to work with because there's no level of comfort with them.
There are jobs where this isn't going to work well, and that's understandable. There are always exceptions.
I work in a high school, and many of us are good friends. Your 20s and early 30s are a hard time to make new friends, because you're often absorbed in work. We tend to lean on each other a lot here. My closest and best friendships I have had my whole life are with people I work/ed with here.
And we still shit talk our bosses, it's normal. Sometimes they come to happy hour and it's hilarious.
I don't think I could work in a place where you shouldn't be/are discouraged from being friends with co-workers.

I think the family of Bobbi Kristina need to let that poor girl rest in peace. Its been over 5 months with no response. Its sad all around.
I didn't know you'd spoken to her doctors about her prognosis. But hey, I'm sure since TMZ has told us all we need to know to judge.
What would be even better is if the media would leave them the fuck alone and let them figure out what is best without looky-loos acting like they know what is best.
As with anything there are good people, mediocre people and terrible people. Unfortunately some of the bad people are spoiling everything for those that truly love helping the general population. I'm fortunate to know more good officers than mediocre or bad.
There are definitely many people that will be fantastic. I am also fortunate to have gotten to know some really great cops because of my degree. I just wish they screened it better or something. There were some scary ass people that got through and now have a badge and gun.
+1,000x's this! (I know this is way late) I've known wonderful cops, DH has known jerk cops. I think they need to do the psych evals similar to what they do for the military. They need to do better background checking, maybe looking at their social med. I wonder how many of these issues with cops could have been realized on their social media pages long before they are given a badge. (Reason I say that, even this Eric Casebolt had the right words and the right training on his police profile)
Nobody ever wants to be friends with the HR person. Guess that takes me completely out of this whole conversation.
One of my better friends is the HR manager of the plant I worked at. She is fun as hell, too! I don't work there anymore, but when I did, we had a pretty good understanding that if it ever had to be done, work came first (basically meaning there were things we just wouldn't discuss).
I never had any HR issues, so it was pretty easy to maintain.

Question re: the Fridge V Counter Butter Debate. Is it just the current opened stick of butter on the counter? Or like, the whole box, pound, however you buy your butter out? We have butter that gets left out on occassion and it doesn't bother me, but the idea of a whole box of butter never going into the fridge seems a little weird. I don't know why. And I realize it makes no sense.

Also, we use margarine almost exclusively. UO?
1 stick at a time covered on the counter. The rest is refrigerated until needed.
I grew up using margarine and can't stand the stuff now. If there's no butter, I will go no "butter" over margarine in most instances now.
Damn, my husband lover(?) doesn't have a FB, my marriage is a sham!!!
I laugh everytime I hear the word Sham. my grandmother called my wedding a sham on our wedding day. We called her out on it later and she ammended it to ShamE. random. sorry.
