For those of us working from home right now, we miss a lot of things, from office snacks to our ergonomic desk chairs, but let's be real, what we miss the most is hanging out with our work BFFs. Even video calls can't replace seeing that one person in the office who never fails to put a smile on your face, drive you absolutely bonkers, or some combination of both. So in honor of our desk-mates, our lunchtime buddies, and our Slack-gossipers — who we desperately miss seeing on the reg — here are 17 reasons we love and adore our work besties.
