Yeah man. For the most part, people are thrown together for an eight or ten or twelve hour stint in work, so I guess you might as well try and get on with the folk you're paired or teamed with, if only to make the time burn down that little quicker.
Sure, there's the extreme groups either side of the social spectrum that either want literally nothing to do with you outside what's mandated by the workplace - that's fine, that's their choice. There's folk who make being at work and entirely social affair - which is fine until their weight isn't being pulled.
I guess nobody really wants to work, so you might as well turn every possible element into an advantage to make it that bit more bearable - and every now and then you'll meet a really good spud that turns into a nice person both in work and out. It's rare, but it does happen.
Workplaces are just a different human setting: there's assholes, diamonds, liars and lifesavers in equal measure.
I am at that stage as parent.
I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It's a case of "here's the medical term for $ReproductiveOrgan" so they know how to use it in formal discussion, ".. but here's what you may hear it reterred to as, and why" and many laughs are had.
Is it the best way? Probably not, but it's a good giggle.
