That part was kind of interesting to me. I have both "real relationships", and "work relationships", but they are not at all mutually exclusive categories.

For me, the more the two categories overlap, the happier I am. I like working with people who I deeply enjoy and trust. People I can laugh with and be honest with.

Afterall, the reality of a 40 hour week is that I spend as much time with these people as my wife and family. Life is too short for me to spend 40 hours without real connection.
