A poll done in 2010 discovered that those that have a best buddy at work feel seven times happier that those that don't. 67% percent reported that being friends with co-workers makes their workday more enjoyable. So say hello to other Moms, co-workers and focus your attention on their eyes. Micah R.

This makes you feel closer to people.
