Work can be tough not to mention, boring. Day in and day out, you go to the same place and have do more or less the same thing, for way too little money or credit. Sometimes, one of the only things that makes your job better are the people surrounding you.
After all, whether we like it or not, we end up spending more time with our coworkers than our most of our family and friends. Friendship at work can truly make the difference between thriving in your job and getting totally burned out.
And once in a while, if you are really lucky, you find more than just a work friend you actually find your best friend. This is a friend who you actually see outside of the office. Having a best friend at work can have it's difficult moments, it is pretty awesome to have your bestie next to you day in and day out. If you work with your best friend, you know what I'm talking about.
I've such a friend. And I'm lucky to have that one person in my life.
We can jump between personal and professional topics seamlessly. We can go from super serious business power duo to gossip within minutes. We can tell what the other person is thinking just by the facial expression.
We know each other's friends and family. The work/life lines have been permeated.
Elevator rides and coffee breaks are like mini-think tanks. We always come up with the best ideas together.
We know alllll about each other, whether we're single or in a relationship, we know all the dirty and angst-ridden details of each other. And we trust each other's advice.
We comforted each other and it wasn't embarrassing, obviously. We can just tell when one needs coffee or a snack
Coffee? Yessssssssss.
We'd never gossip about each other and coworkers know better than to gossip about anyone of us in front of the other. Don't they dare say anything bad about my best friend.
Our chats are an extensive documentation of our relationship. We cover everything from relationships to politics. We're each other's bouncing board. For all work ideas and risky fashion statements.
We're never alone if we're at work together.
It's good to know I've an ally. And if anyone out of us sick, things just feel ... weird..
We have inside jokes that no one else in the office will ever understand. Because that is what happens when we spend all our time together.
We're each other's wing people. We've the same enemies at work and will both hate them with a vengeance. Lunch together is truly a dance of our kindred spirits.
We calm each other down when we're about to have our fifth nervous breakdown of the day.
Most of all, Everyone knows we're kind of a package deal. If there is a chance to work on teams, everyone knows we are two for the price of one.
Because we're more than just coworkers...
We're best friends...
That's for sure...
To that coworker turned bff...
Know this... You've become one of the best things in my life...
Thank You...
