Best thing to do is simply get up and walk away.

Apparently, you got a BIG BREAK when you were hired! Walk around the office with a legal pad in your left hand and a bottled water in the other...stop by other peoples desks and ask there opinion on small matters, it gives appearances on work related issues

First, the compensation is very good. Second, the environment is a nice place to work with and the most important the employer, the more the employer give motivations to their employees the more the employees will stay in thier company. Got it.

its a good way to keep in touch with friends, family, and coworkers. I even became closer to some people that way, because we were able to keep up on each others lives more.

That's an impressive amount of information you have gathered but success in the workplace depends on a lot more. You have to work hard, understand the workplace's culture, and be able to get along with many people just looking out for themselves. Good luck.

I'd take courses in business administration, bookkeeping, office data, and literature. Then you can learn how to run the store and learn more about literature at the same time :D

You must have an intrest outside of work, so join a local club or group and take it from there. Also, they say that the local supermarket is a place to bump into people.

Let me tell you one (among many) thing that I hate about the corporate world: The Cube Farms.\n\nThey'll tell you the cube is the ideal work space where you get you own semi-privacy while being able to interact with your co-workers.\n\nIn reality, they just throw you in a box to condition your thinking and behaviour, to kill your creativity, and give themselves a better sense of control over individuals.

I have found that it is usually best not to mix work life with personal life.  Sure, sometimes people get lucky and become friends through their jobs, and nothing bad happens.  But often the person you become "friends" with will try to take advantage of the situation, or worse, one day may get promoted and become your boss, creating an awkward situation.  Co-workers especially in an office) tend to be back-stabbers who will stop at nothing to get ahead.  They just might "accidentally" tell the boss about a mistake you made and corrected.  Or put you in a position you do not feel comfortable being in (lying to cover for them).  Or steal the promotion/raise that you were supposed to get.

work in a place where you can make yourself happy. Do not compromise anything on your career.
