That is an interesting game. I need to re-read the rules, since, I break all rules I can possibly find and this one will probably be no exception.

As far as getting close to co-workers. I was of the view that they two domains need to be separate. I wish now that I had kept them somewhat close together. I left a job 2 years ago and I still miss the people that I worked with (the office life anyway.) It was very bizarre work environment, dark humour etc. It was a large government body. If that makes sense.
