It almost feels required..... (Score 1)

In my office, hanging out with the co-workers is both enjoyable and desired. But at first, it felt almost like the bosses demanded we go out. I started when the company was made of a whole 7 people, and since then has grown to over 30. It's been a fun ride, and thanks to that "required" feel many of us have become long-term friends out of it. I've had sleep-overs, jam sessions, trips to water parks and a host of other things together either on our own, or in a "full office" method. It's created a very close workplace, we all like each other, and everyone kinda watches out for each other. It's a well rounded group, imho.
