The time I have 'spent' with my work colleagues is easily, easily outweighed by the help / support / advice I get back in return - especially in 'crises' situations. I recommend this practice to everyone. Start with maybe one or two a week. You may think it takes a lot of time but it is well worth it. In addition, as you say, you get to hear the latest gossip.

Holiday parties, which most of us attended, are a great way to meet people from other departments, and then follow up in the months to come with offers of coffee, lunch, etc. Another good way to meet people is through company-wide fundraising/community events. I think when you only get to know people in your own department, it's sort of like only having a map with only half the roads on it....there's a good chance you're going to take some wrong turns. But by knowing how your entire company and the people function, you're looking at the big map... and you'll get to your destination a heck of a lot faster knowing where all the roads lead.
