I've often been put off making comments about work as you never know who may stumble upon your blog (hi Heidi!) and what grief you could get into if you made a deregotary statement about a colleague.
It makes me think about the term 'work mates' - are they really your 'mates'? You basically get to spend 8 plus hours a day with people who you have not chosen to be with or particularly want to and spend less time with people who you class as actual friends. Do you get to the end of each day and think 'you know what, let's all go out for a beer and a chat?' - I doubt many would.
I have to say that on the whole I am quite lucky about the people I work with - there will always be one or two that can wind you up or annoy you but you have to push feelings aside and get on with the day.
There are some classic characters in my department. When I started I worked alongside Zack and Malcolm and we had such a laugh. Last week all the girls from our office were out which left the three of us and we had a great afternoon full of laughs, music and of course lots of hard work!
