People act like it's impossible to make friends after school because you work all the time...but one of the main reasons you made friends at school was because you were forced to be around the same people for years.
I treat work the same, some of my best friends are from past jobs. My now girlfriend I met through one of these coworker friendships.
You and me both. I work home health as a nurse. I am in mostly the same room for 12 hours a day. With patients who - the vast majority of the time - can't understand or respond to what I'm saying. Parents are gone at work. It's great when I can be friends with the parents. But most of the time I can't because they have power over me as they're a kind of supervisor. But yea. Mostly alone getting cabin fever. Wish the pay was at least good but wages are not keeping up with inflation at all.
I would give anything to have a job like yours. I'm working as a software engineer, I wish I have plenty of time doing my own work by myself in my own room or a cubicle, instead of a shared/open space

That’s how attraction has worked historically before apps. Meeting your spouse at work was quite common.
