This is dumb as hell. Why wouldn't you want to be make friends with the people you are going to be spending nearly a third of your time with?

Price of entry is much higher, but I feel like the amount I've saved on games via steam sales/humble bundles/etc along with no monthly fees for online play more than make up for it in the long run.
My computer is hooked up to my 65 inch Samsung TV and it plays perfectly. Yeah. It's only 120hz, but I'm not so much of a graphics snob that I need 200+ FPS. Plus, at 4k I barely break 100 FPS most of the time anyway. Pretty sure it would outperform any console throw at it regardless.

I came looking for this comment.
Most teachers have a projector or television mounted in their rooms that are connected to either their computer or iPad.
"Putties!" was my first thought as well.
Pro tip, if you are around someone with hiccups and you want to help them out, wait for their next hiccup, then immediately after offer them $10 (or anything you can provide as incentive) if they can hiccup one more time. Something about wanting it makes it stop.
Unfortunately, this probably won't work on you anymore once you've read this, so sorry about that. And it only works on the unknowing a few times before they become immune, but it's a neat trick that they will appreciate it when it works!

It's safer to not do a lot of stuff. Soooo many things everyone does every day "can get messy." But I'll be damned if I spend a third of my life being a work robot. Granted, I'm not in a cut-throat, dog eat dog work environment like I imagine a lot of folks are, but it's bad blanket advice to say don't make friends at work. I work with two other guys, we all do the same thing, we all have similar interests, and we would all be super stoked for each other if any of us got a promotion.
Good advice: Just use your brain. Yeah, if that bitch Carol from accounting is gunning for the same position as you, probably don't tell her how hard you were partying last weekend with the bosses daughter. But if Dave from IT is talking about that super sweet video game you've also been playing, get in there and have a fun chat with Dave. Get his screen name. Kill some zombies with Dave.
Just pay attention, read the room, and think before you speak. You can definitely have work friends in any work environment if you don't make dumb decisions.
