Most Fridays we all get together at work and pick a restaurant to go out and eat lunch together. I really like this way of celebrating the end of the work week. I also like the way this forces some of my co-workers to get up off their duffs and go be sociable. It’s so easy to just get to work and hunker down at your desk or cubicle and not get up until 5:00. People need a certain amount of social interaction. Humans are social being by nature. It’s not good to isolate yourself from your co-workers. We are a team and it takes a little effort by everyone to keep the team spirit alive and I think you will find that everyone is more productive if they are emotionally secure. I know you can’t be best friends with everyone, but you need to make an effort to be polite and respectful and it won’t kill you to be pleasant to people that you see every day.
