Original

I spent my weekend with my colleagues. We catched up about our recent life together. Two men and one girl talked about the gossip but we were so happy. It has been a long time we haven’t seen each other. We had lunch first, then we went to a coffee bar, and spend an afternoon in there. One of my colleague got sick and he resumed now, and for now, were are working in three different companies. For me it’s a girls afternoon. we just catch up about our recent life and share the terrible things we meet, and the terrible colleagues we meet now, and maybe they did some unfair things to us. Maybe say something we can’t say in current company now.
