Co-Worker Double Date

MrsGoontz

So...I was just informed that HH and I got suckered into a double date with one of his coworkers and her bf for tonight...should be interesting.

This made me curious - how many of you hang out with co-workers outside of the office? Excluding going to lunch with them during the week. I really don't ever hang out with co-workers and neither does HH so I'm curious how he got "suckered" into this dinner.

I don't really hang out with my co-workers.  At my previous job though, my co-workers were my second family.  We traveled a lot, so we were always together and doing stuff.  I miss them.

I don't hang out with any of mine now.  The last job I had, all of us would go to a bar every Thursday after work.  We would also have house parties involving the same crowd.  And softball games..... We hang out with Adam's boss and his wife occasionally.  We've gone to hockey games.... hung out on their boat with them.... went to that concert recently with just the boss's wife.  Tomorrow I'm hanging out with boss's wife, either at their house or we'll go hit up the mall or something.

Yeah, at my last job I had one girl that I actually hung out with outside of work occasionally but that was it.

I guess I just found it kind of odd (but kind of sweet at the same time) that this girl really wanted us to go on a double-date with her and her bf. I try to not mix my work and personal life very much - I feel like I am always a bit on guard with what I say and whatnot.

My work and personal life are completely seperated. I used to go to church with my boss, but when our church split he left and I stayed. Its kinda awkward at times now but nothing too bad. I have nothing in common with my coworkers outside of the office.

 

EDIT: HH has one coworker who lives up our way. He's pretty wild so we don't really hang out with him but he does stop by our house sometimes to say hey. I don't really know any of the other guys he works with. HH says their a really rough bunch and he doesn't want me around them.

We sometimes hang out with Matt's coworkers, but not with mine. He works in a place that employs a lot of men in his general age range, whereas I work with a bunch of people who are at least 15-20 years older than I am.

I don't hang out with people from work. Hubby doesn't really either. Well except for someone that I helped get her a job here in my office and her hubby works for UPS. She was one of my bridesmaids and he was Bernies best man! They introduced us so.... LOVE THEM BOTH! UPS guys drink to much so we can't go there lol he doesn't drink anymore. My people um just have no desire. Spending 8 hours at work 5 days a week with them is enough!

Uh I went out once with a coworker when I worked at SUBWAY haha. But besides that, no. Here everyone's a lot older than me.

I rarely hang out with co-workers. I like the people in my department a lot and would love to hang out with them. But if I were to be promoted in the future, it would be difficult to manage the team if we were hanging out outside of work all the time. Outside of the HR department, there aren't any [my company] employees who wants me to show up to the bar or party or softball game. In most people's eyes, HR people are a big downer by default, so I don't take it personally. In reality, we're just like everyone else, but we have to set an example and high expectations because we are the ones who hold everyone to them...know what I mean?

Some of my best friends were co-workers of mine. There's a group of about 8-12 of us who hang out (when I'm in town). More than half of those I'm in close contact with. One of my friends nicknamed me 'grandma' because I always get the group together when I'm visiting.

I hang out with one, maybe 2 people from work.  Adam occasionally hangs out with a guy that used to work there (he just got let go last friday).  Sometimes I'll get invited to grab a drink after work or to go do something later in the week.  I feel so special when I get invited, because usually I just go home and I'm not part of the "in crowd."
