25 Things You GChat To Your Work BFF

By

Shout out to work BFFs, the most underrated part of the Friend Family Tree. They shoulder a great burden, and share with us the most significant portion of our waking lives. They arguably know more about us than many of our “personal” relationships, and, more importantly, cover for us when we are hungover. The office wouldn’t be the same without them, and GChat is the glue that holds these precious relationships together.
