For most of my life, I have always felt more at ease hanging out with women than I do men. I have some guy friends, but I think they are similar to me in that regard. The problem I’m facing is I am close with my friends, but I don’t feel like I am as close as I would like to be. I consider them to be my best friends but I sometimes worry if I will be anything more than just a “guy friend” to them. I feel like when they get in a relationship relationships I will no longer be included for the soul reason that I am a straight guy who they just happen to be friends with.

I would like to hear everyone’s thoughts on this downtown establishment. Personally, I think the food is inconsistent at best in their servers do not give a damn about getting your food to you at a reasonable time. The last time we went. There was in the fall, watching the Vikings and I swear every employee there had their eyes glue to TV, and their backs turned to all of the customers. I also personally I’m not a big fan of the owner. I think she’s very offputting. And I personally get frustrated when she lingers around my table while me and my friends are trying to eat talking to us about Adam Thielen or taking a party to watch the Mavericks play

The other day. My roommate sent me a text about our electric bill being being really really and did not believe I was telling the truth. The bill was $222. I sent him a screenshot, confirming that it was the case. Well, he has not considered. Is that here won’t turn a light off, especially I night. I often wake up to find several lights around. The apartment left on. Also, picking through his room one day while I walked by. I noticed that he has a box fan in the window. In the way. Our apartment is set up. We have two different air conditioning units, one controls my side of the apartment and the living room and the other side is forward the two other bedrooms. I am not totally sure how often the AC is on on that end. Personally, I am not going to police how much someone uses appliances, but I was just very shocked to hear that he didn’t believe me knowing his habits.

I just got to work and my supervisor has told me that my coworker is working from home because of a hangover. This pisses me off because last summer we were yelled at for drinking after work despite doing it responsibly.Also I had plans to pick up my medication from the pharmacy before the pharmacy closed for the day.

Recently during , our management/leadership team meetings. We had discussed a survey that was given out. In the survey, it covered almost all the basic functions over a workplace. One question was directed towards our team itself.
Several people had mentioned that they felt like us as supervisors or a leadership team didn’t all like each other and that it was clear to them that some of us hung out. A few others had mentioned that they didn’t feel included overall when people hung out outside of work.

In my opinion, everyone should feel welcome in our workspace however, I don’t think it is required or necessary to be friends with everyone you work with. I also really think that staff should not expect to be close friends with their supervisors. I’d also like to add that there is a very significant age difference between our team and our staff. Our leadership team arranges from 27 to 22 and we have a large majority of staff who are under the age of 21.
I would like to hear others thoughts about this. It has been a very contentious topic within my workplace.

I’ve been giving this topic a lot of that recently and I just don’t know how things are going to pan out if it continues. For simplicity, I’m going to refer to my friends as friend A,B,and C. Around this time last year, friend A and B and myself started hanging out a lot. Over the summer we noticed that B had very strong opinions on people and for the most part we agreed with her. However, we started to notice some strange things, for example B had a few connections with other people who she considered a friend that ended up treating her like shit. But anytime she was around. She always act as if nothing happened and that they are really good friends. Without getting into everything A and I both are in agreement that what these people did is beyond forgivable.

Later on B started hanging out a lot more with our friend C they are very similar in almost every regard however, sometimes being so similar is not good for a relationship of any capacity. A and I would often get to stories of their night out together and would notice that we would get two different versions of the story. Typically what would happen as one of them would go out to the bars and find a boy that they are interested in, but when one of them starts talking to a boy, they get jealous which leads into a fight. But again we receive different version of the story and as much as I want to support my friends at this point, I don’t know what side is actually the truth.
