Studies have shown<\/a> that most people spend about 90,000 hours at work over the course of their lives. That represents about 30 percent of their total time and indicates just how invested people are when it comes to their jobs.<\/p>\n

As a spa owner or spa employee working a full week, this probably sounds all too familiar! How do people survive all that time in the spa?<\/p>\n

Some stay motivated by thinking about all the money they\u2019re making. Others feel fulfilled by the kind of work they\u2019re doing. But the majority of people are able to go into work day in and day out and enjoy it because of their spa friends.<\/p>\n

Many people find that their friends at work turn into their best friends over time. They spend so much time with them that they become closer and closer until they\u2019re eventually inseparable.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the reasons why people say their work friends are also their best friends.<\/p>\n

Spa Friends Share Many of the Same Struggles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No matter how much you love your spa job, there are probably certain things about it that you wish you could change.<\/p>\n

For example, you might wish one of your managers was a little bit nicer. Or you might wish that people would stop stealing your lunch out of the refrigerator in the break room. Or you might wish you didn\u2019t have to work weekends to accommodate your clients.<\/p>\n

Your spa friends share the same struggles as you<\/a> and help make them a little bit more tolerable. When you know that you aren\u2019t the only one dealing with a bad manager or mean clients, it can take the edge off your job.<\/p>\n

Your friends at the spa will commiserate with you and let you know that they, too, share a lot of the same thoughts and opinions as you.<\/p>\n

They See Each Other At Their Highest and Lowest Points<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you spend eight or more hours every day working alongside your spa friends, they\u2019re going to see you at both your highest and lowest points.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re going to be there when your boss calls you into their office one day to give you a well-deserved promotion. They\u2019re also going to be there the day you come back from lunch with tears in your eyes because your boyfriend broke up with you.<\/p>\n

Similarly, you\u2019re going to be there to see them at their high and low points. It\u2019s going to bring you a lot closer and make you more than just spa friends.<\/p>\n

Over time, as more and more of these situations pop up, you\u2019re going to find your spa friends transforming into your actual friends and then later becoming your best friends. It\u2019s a fun journey to take.<\/p>\n

They Talk About Everything Under the Sun<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re spending as much time together as you and your spa friends are, you\u2019re inevitably going to discuss, well, just about everything. You\u2019re going to talk about:<\/p>\n
