This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I didn't say you can't make friends at work. More that you shouldn't be searching for friends at work.

I've made plenty of good friends at work, but it is not the default expectation. You clock in, do your job, clock out, get paid. If you end up working well with someone and become friends, cool.

And that's the basis of what "professionalism" is. You should be able to work with anyone that's not an outright jerk, and if you find someone you like working with, that's even better!
