Have been mentoring one guy for some time in my role, wherein the work related mentoring is going on I am getting mentored albeit unconsciously on social etiquette's, and just started to understand what I am missing and will continue to miss with my current location, work and lifestyle.
Having been with friends at work is probably a situation most desired however it also has it's side effects, work moves friends apart...and suddenly you are lost for that uncomplicated, unrestricted and taken for granted company.
Now things have changed...
not that I am averse to meeting people..it is more like what do I do in front of them ..sit down, touch feet...the protocols are just to messy for me to remember...not that I have this problem everywhere, however meeting new people seems to be a problem.
New friends are difficult...
