For some people, working in the office is not always necessary to make money. Some people might see it as place to share their passion with people who had same interest, some people want to achieve some goals in their career life, or they want to gain their links and social life before they make their own business. Some people, just want to fill their free time with cool people (I've been changing job 4 times in this life, and you'll be surprise how many people do that). For me, in this age, money and links is my main reason! Haha

And when you working at the office, you can not working by yourself. Even if your job desk doesn't require you to talk to other people, you will always have to make friends.And here some people that you need to be friends with:

1. Lunch Friend
You need lunch friend. Believe me. No matter how much you love to sit on your chair and watch all stupid video on YouTube, having a lunch with friend at the office its essential. Its almost like a sacred things. Don't mess with it! Don't mess with your lunch friend, because for some of them lunch is their only free time to talk to someone else. So, be there. Enjoy the conversation. Build a relationship! Its healthy and you need it!

2. Office Gossip
Among those nerds at the office you will always found one who keep all the historic office gossip. Back when i worked in DestinAsian, i know a guy named Coco Namara (sorry for mention your name in this such hideous blog, babe) that not only keep the most recent office gossip but also the ancient one. Who just resigned, who will replaced position, who is on affair, who just got one night stand, everything. Every little trashy useless information about your office mates, you can get from him. And, its nice to know this kind of person. Not to found out about someone little dirty secret, but to make sure you out of his trash talk radar. Because like other gossip, its not all true!

3. Travel Mate
Since you work you ass hard every single day, Monday to Friday, 9AM until 6PM. Sometimes you and your other office mates feel a bit boring and craving for adventure. And out of nowhere, you will find ones who always had a schedule to go to beach or other destination. For me, i need this kind of person at the office more than a drug addict need her dealer. I ALWAYS NEED TO ESCAPE THE CITY! (I know should move to Bali long time ago)

4. A Party Guy
You will always find a guy or girl that always get hyped every Friday. Their money mainly wasted in open table at the club or rave party. They always have recommendation the trendiest bar or pub in the city and their social media were filled with their faces with three or four other friends with glasses of drink in their hands. You need to friends with this kind of person. When i was still drank an alcohol (i am now and forever free from alcohol) there is always one gay friend that always have invitation to a party. And i always ended up drank my problem away. From bar, to pub, to club. Its fun! But it just plain mistake. If you still under 25 years old, you need to experience this kind of mistake!

5. Admin Girl
Every office has their own rules and nobody want to get trouble in some silly office rules. Back then when i still feature writer at some Media Company, there is a rules that taxi voucher only can be used for writer to job related event. Not for admin. And since admin is also human being, they sometimes need to go out with taxi. And sometimes i lent in my name to her so she can have the taxi voucher. In returns, she would covering me when i come late or just have "suddenly meeting" (read: another job interview). Well, but after my days in those Media Company, i got no chance to do the same. But still, be friends with admin division can make your life a lot easier at the office. At least they can remind you what kind of mistake you about to make!

6. A Boss Babe
He or she is might be not a boss but he or she loves being called boss. They usually has no problem to pay your lunch bill, pay for a movie or treat you with free Uber. It just lovely. They seems don't need any special friendship or anything, they just need to be seen as a boss. And believe me, there is a lot of royal-without-cause people at the office. Be friend with he or she are always interesting!

7. The OB
You wont get more sincere friendship than friends with the office helper! They nice and always can be relied on. Remember: always be nice and friendly with Office Boy. And never see them lower than you, because he or she is not! You both working for someone else, you both in same class!
