Many of my best of friends are my former colleagues in my previous work. We remain best buddies even if we are no longer working in the same offices. We get in touch with each other still, we dine out and hang around when our schedules permit. It is fun to be with them even if we are distance apart.
Do you still see with your former officemates?

I recently quit my job, I still get in contact with the friends that I made working. It was a virtual job, so there is really no way to hang out with them, but I still chat with them. :)

Absolutely YES!. Some of my best friends are my former buds from work. One of my longest friends (although not THE longest) has been my bud for 23 years. We have even lived together a few times.
And I got a few others from another job We all left about 10-11 years ago and the group of us (we all use to go out together after work every Wednesday) are still pretty close - we all keep in touch whether it's phone or Facebook or just dropping by to say hi.
Facebook has been great for keeping track of some of them that we don't talk with much on the phone.. we can now easily arrange dinner nights out to catch up.

I agree with you that Facebook is a good way to keep in touch with each other.

I do keep in touch with former co-workers. One friend and I meet for lunch when our schedules allow. She is a shopper and I am not so we don't do anything together other than talk and get together and eat. It's always a fun time. Another co-worker and I use to hang around together all the time. She moved away and I lost touch with her which I really regret. I ran into a co-worker about a year ago who I use to work with 45 years ago. We reconnected and see each other on a regular basis for lunch or dinner. It's been fun recalling some of the people we worked with many years ago in an office atmosphere.

hi dorisday I think my being here in this tiresome retirement center scares off my past co workers but when I went back to the dedication of our new library which I unfortunately never got to work in, they were all so glad to see me ., I gave them my address but nobody has come to call on me here. I have met some of them recently on facebook as I have become a new facebooker.I think the fact that I am widowed and they all have their hubbies yet is another factor too, family always comes first.

Am still close with few my previous officemates, thou we separate ways for more than 20 years already. we're still single when still working together. As we got married and have children, we do see each other on occasions like baptismal and birthdays. Now we're having grandchildren, still keep in touch from time to time.

the culture of the people in my past work is superb. i not only become friends with my co-workers but also get along with my supervisor and managers. even when i left this industry almost 2 years ago we still see each other and when i came back from dubai they arrange a get-together party for me. they are truly amazing people.

i am proud to say yes, i am still good friends with my former co-workers. we have had a lot of great times, team building, and events that we all shared together not only as employees but also as friends.. i would say that we all think that it is one of the best things we could keep for ourselves - the relationship we built over the years.
now, even if we have gone our separate ways, we still chat and talk and even see each other if our schedules would allow us - its really wonderful how things and our lives have changed but we still manage to remain friends. =)
