I've become kind of good friends with a male colleague at work, and we message on Teams pretty often throughout the day. It's a mix of work-related convo and general banter. He's never hit on me or invited me to do anything outside of work, so I think he's just being friendly. Is it common to chat online with friends all day? FWIW, we're in our 30s, so not very young!

When I worked at a call center job, it was encouraged to find a battle buddy and have those kinds of conversations. Not sure how that works at all companies, but that was normal for at least one out there.

Sounds like a good working friendship to me. I’ve got a few colleagues I chat with during the day like that, and it’s never been weird. If it’s mutual and professional boundaries are respected, I wouldn’t worry.

Yeah, totally normal. I have a couple of colleagues like that, and it's a nice way to break up the monotony of the day.

I would watch out. Teams tracks everything.

Y’all I just need to vent real quick as my husband is gone for the week several time zones away and I’m alone. This late second trimester heartburn is unreal!

SHORTS ARE IN CONTROL OF THIS MARKET. It's stunning to say that after 4 rip-roaring up days. But, let's step back and look at the 1 hour chart for the past month. This week, we literally went to the top of the range. And, our high was with .25 point of the high established on June 15, 3156.25. We have never spent more than two hours above 3146. Even though the 15 short technically broke today, the long also did, reinstating the 15 minute short.
