I find my best buds in the workplace. We work together, drink together, argue together and eventually get used to each other. To me a friend is somebody who'll come get yer sorry a$$ off the interstate when yer car breaks down at two in the a.m. Or somebody who'll spot you for a beer or three, and not mention it. Or somebody who'll pick you up when yer down by telling you about how much harder their life sucks. Or somebody who'll up and tell you when yer just plain being a dumbass. That's a true bud.
