If you've ever had a job that has introduced you to some of the coolest people in your life, then these situations should sound pretty familiar to you.
1. They can make you dread going to work slightly less.
When you look at the upcoming schedule, the first thing you look for are the names of your favorite few co-workers that usually seem to make the time go by a little faster. Great co-workers are like built-in best friends that you get to suffer with for a few hours a day.
2. With these people, work may even be, dare I say, fun.
If you guys share a sense of humor and a common dislike for your job, you're golden. There's sure to be lots of laughs and lighthearted pranks.
3. The gossip is just too good.
Whether it be about other co-workers (come on, you've gotta admit it, we all do it once in a while), your own personal lives, or some awful customer from earlier in the day who threw a literal temper tantrum, shop talk can be the foundation for some of the best conversations.
4. You can develop a "work crush."
You know, that person whose name gives you butterflies when you see it below your own on the next day's schedule, and with whom you can't help but flirt when you get to work on a task together. Who knows, if you two start talking outside of work, it could blossom into a real thing!
5. Customers become your enemies.
When you and your work friends are deep in conversation (this stuff can get personal), the last thing you need is for a paying customer to interrupt and make you guys, you know, actually do your job. So rude, right?
