Co-workers are the people who make work bearable and I am blessed enough to be able to work with some people who have become close friends to me. Here are just some of the many things we should all be thanking our co-workers for.

1. Thanks for listening to all of my rants about life or about unruly customers.

You're lying if you say that your job is perfect and you never come across people who piss you off at work or have those rude customers you have to deal with and co-workers are always there to listen to it all. They really do get it too because chances are they have had almost the same experience.

2. Thanks for helping me out when I need it.

Whether it's taking my shifts when i'm busy or sick or helping back me up with a customer, I can always count on my co-workers in all of my situations at work.

3. Thanks for making long shifts bearable.

Without my co-workers I would have already dropped dead from a long work shift. They know just how to make me smile and keep me company when i'm bored or about to rip my hair out at work.

4. Thanks for being good friends to me.

It's always nice to have people you spend a lot of your time with as people you relate to well and get along with!

5. Thanks for making me laugh when i'm having a bad day and working is the last thing I want to be doing.

My co-workers always know how to make me smile and can make work not so bad once i'm there.

6. Thanks for letting me gossip and not telling anybody.

Co-workers are people you can really trust and it's only a matter of time before you start telling your co-workers your personal life struggles and they don't judge you for it.

7. Thanks for listening to all of my complaining and not getting annoyed.

Because I complain a lot...about how tired I am or how much I want to be doing something else and I guarantee it's annoying but my co-workers let it slide.

8. Thanks for being so understanding when I mess up.

Because it happens all the time but my co-workers are always there to help me clean up my messes and never get upset with me.

9. Thanks for standing up for me.

Whether it be a crazy customer or anyone else, i'm so lucky to have such good people on my side for things.

10. Thanks for making me feel like apart of the family.

Because we are kind of like one big family!

And most importantly...

11. Thanks for being great co-workers.

I wouldn't trade them for the world and work just wouldn't be the same without them.
