There are two of us here at work in IT/Telecom
so I stopped by the other guy's office to say hi, find out how he's doing. He said to me, "Thom, come and take a walk with me. Let me buy you a coffee."

:9

He's someone I know but rarely talk to. Our jobs don't overlap. You find out that some people are really very nice and social if you stop by. :)

5. I don't know about that.
He transferred down from the "Creative" department (we're an Ad agency) and he's got this "cool kid" attitude when there are people around. I don't know that he'll be that social when everyone else is here.
:P

But it's nice to know that he's very nice and social when the group dynamics break down. :)

6. The office is shut down this week.
We're the skeleton crew. Normally there are about 100 of us, and the IT department breaks down into pretty rigid cliques.

I cross a lot of the lines, but there are some groups I don't penetrate. :P

7. Such a nice gesture, .. I know
it's a small thing, but I find it very heartwarming. I'm a sap for feel good stuff.

Happy New Year Thom.

I hope we all have a whole lot of good news to share in the next year. :toast:
That would really be a welcome change over the past year.
