Do you guys ever talk much about your personal lives with your fellow co-workers or do you guys keep it strictly business?

Always AVOID choosing sides at work whether it be persons or departments, be neutral.

Every one at work is free to chose sides.. As long as its my side

Just one colleague and i think the boss. He's most likely the only person i will keep in touch with when i leave this joint at the end of April

But business is pleasure. If I have to work for 40+ years of my life I am going to dam well have fun doing it!!

It really depends on the environment, for me. There's usually a person here or a person there that I keep in touch with or go out and have a few beers with from each place I've worked. This was the true while I was working at each place, too, where I'd really only want to socialize outside of work or interact beyond a professional level with one or two people here and there. (I was kind of that way in school, too, I cherry-picked my friends and didn't keep a huge crowd around me.)

The only exception has been one particular workplace where the general atmosphere was friendly and fun. I got to know a lot of people there and we still get together and have "survivor" meet-ups. Most of these folks I would spend time with outside of work, and I consider many of them friends.
