One of the blokes made me promise that if I ever leave I would stay in contact with him - I thought he was joking. Although they all say they would miss me. We go to each other's houses - they love our little place out here, and we go to the inner city to see how the other half live.
I would be sad to ever leave - best work place ever.

AHHHHH god got me all emotional.
Work place now consists of the hubby and me so dont reall have that work slag our blokes off thing anymore, I just do it to his face.
But in my old job back in blighty I loved my work mates, 3 girls and one bloke (who should have ben gay buy wasnlt) in my dept.
One girl being the bosss and me and the others working for her, we (including the boss) used to go and do overtime on a saturday with a bottle of wine under the desk, once we got so pissed we had to get my hubby to pick us up. We had such a laugh.
AHHHHHHHHH those were the days, I actually loved my old job.

Re: Your work mates
Deb's and I work alongside a nice bunch of blokes we all get on well and while at first they were a bit wary of a woman being in a mainly male dominated occupation her quick wits and repartee not to mention her keenness to learn from scratch have earned her the respect she rightly deserves. They still tend to excuse themselves after a four letter outburst in the tea hut though To be honest we get more stick for being pommies than we used to but we counter those with better a pommie than a Kiwi, Cockroach, Mexican, Banana Bender insert as necessary. I guess it's just that now we're all mates they feel they can take the piss a bit more than they used to.
