Stayed up pretty late raising hell last nite in Houston it was fun . Do you guys hang out with guys from work? Do y’all actually loosen up and have fun? Drink ? Party ? Invite them over once in a blue moon?
It’s good to get all the guys together at work and vent and drink and talk chit . Makes this job much easier

I'm less likely to dog cuss you at work if we've partied a little here and there.
Seriously though I think it's good to hang out with the good ones, not too much though. We've had a few g2g's after work.

I don't really have any, as I primarily fly solo most of the time

I have a few friends from my old job that I see occasionally still. Not from the new job, no. Work and social are better separate when possible.

My closest friends outside of family are coworkers. I don't hang out much but I'm not the partying guy I was 20 years ago. I had a group of coworkers over for Texas-OU rivalry game last year. Fans of both sides. It was a blast.
This thread needs more cowbell ...

The boss takes us deer hunting with him occasionally, we do get smashed, but we never talk work.

I don't want anyone from my work knowing what I do in my free time. They might want to join in. Since I am the boss it's not good to socialize with the underlings.

No, never ended well in any of the circumstances I was part of.
rules to live by Don't do business with friends, relatives, or preachers. Don't have an affair with someone you work with. Don't party with people you work with or work for. keep work and friends separate. Also don't go in partners on Boats, tractors, or racecars.
Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.
If you put beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.
God doesn't create temporary people, you will spend eternity somewhere. Choose wisely.

I have several friends from work that I have known and worked with for almost 40 yrs. At our advanced age we will slowly walk to the local CVS and get a bottle of Geritol to enjoy and slowly talk about the good old days.

I work with a Jewish man that doesn't drink. We're not much on partying together.
I hate photobucket.

I fish with a few co workers. But my partying days are long gone.
He is truly a sick individual.

I have made some pretty good friends from the office in the last 3.5 years I've been with my current company. About 8 of us try to meet up once a month for some whiskey drinking. If it weren't for the people I work with, I'd probably be at a different company by now.

About 15 years ago a core group of about 30 friends/coworkers started up the company I work for. We've known each other and partied together our entire adult lives, known some since childhood. Every weekend at least some of us are getting together, we usually meet up at a bar in Hard Rock on a Friday or Saturday night. It's a hell of a deal getting up every morning and hanging with friends, it doesn't really seem like work.
