Describe a time when you visited a friend or family member at their workplace.

I don’t normally like to visit any friend or family members at their workplaces because I think that
such
practice distracts them from their works.
Besides
, I don’t exactly think that the bosses at workplaces would like that. In fact, my boss thinks that it should be a standard norm not to visit anybody at his or her workplaces unless there is a very – I mean, very – valid reason to do so. But, I broke that norm once and decided to meet one of my good friends at his workplace. Actually, I haven’t met Patrick Lee, since the time we graduated from the university about 5 years ago, because right after finishing our university life, we had to go on our separate ways due to the professional reasons. In fact, we both moved to two different cities with more than 250 kilometres of distance between us. Of course, I knew exactly where he used to work, and we even used to have phone conversations with each other once in a while in order to keep in touch with each other. So, when an opportunity arrived one day in the form of an official tour
into
Suggestion
in
the city where Patrick lived, I just didn’t want to let the opportunity to meet my good old friend get wasted. Of course, Patrick asked me to visit him the
next
day at his home, but I told him that I would remain too busy to meet him
then
. So, in the end, it was decided that I would meet him at his workplace for a few minutes just for old time’s sake. But, even though, it was supposed to be only a brief meeting for a few minutes, it went on for about a good 30 minutes, as we both tried to catch up with each other on what we had missed over the years while enjoying some great coffee. In fact, I felt like we went back to our old university days again as we laughed and made jokes with each other as long as I was there at my friend's office.
