nice try. actually, that's not it at all. i am currently applying to medical school, so the whole software engineer thing is temporary for me. just trying to have fun while it lasts...
aside from the fact that you cannot ever "fish off the company pier," great friendships can, in my opinion, be made at work. for instance, my boss and i are going on a week long ski trip in january with friends and family. occasionally, the guys here go out to play "pasture pool" (read: golf). however, one cannot have friends from only one locale. if all your friends are at work, you're in for trouble.
the moral of the story: make friends, and do it often.
