      Back when I worked at a restaurant, we’d go out to someones place and drink, smoke, and the like. But now I work in an office, and offices are isolating by design and desire, so there’s no real opportunity

        Was gonna say, I hang out with some of my co workers on my off days and also have started jamming with some now that I have an electric kit and a bunch of practice amps and can jam at a reasonable apartment volume. But I work in a kitchen and one that has managed to retain staff super well. Our newest person has been here for 2 years.

        Offices still have this culture, they just hide it under faux professionalism. I learned a coworker grows weed and they offered me an ounce, learned about some affairs. It’s all there

      Even if I go with coworkers I don’t know as well, I can still have a good time. Learn about parts of the company I don’t work under, hear gossip, create gossip. I don’t even go a lot, like once every 2-3 months, it’s totally worth it.
