      Not always a mistake I married Mrs. Maxxx 30 years ago - we met at work - the rest is history! (yes you do get a shorter sentence for murder, but the sex isn't as good!)

        I've made that same mistake over and over again... Mind you, so far, it has only been crushes, and I have never actually managed to get anywhere with them (goes without saying, I'm a programmer/nerd) :sigh:

        As you work in an all male environment, that's very liberated of you. We're proud of you.

              Nagy, pissing in anyone's beer is probably sacrilege, although with some mass produced "beers" you might not be able to tell the difference.

                I did the opposite. My wife of 37 years now works in the same place as me. With the fact that we live 7 minutes from the office and drive a hybrid, our commuting costs are really low! ... and it's extra discouragement for workplace liaisons. :)

                    No, not ALL male environment, and that's actually the problem. As soon as a girl sets foot inside the door (on some occasions even before), you can count on me getting a crush on her... :sigh:

                      It's okay to have a crush on someone you work with... as long as they don't catch you looking in their window when they're taking a shower.

                                A crush would leave a bad stain. Too bad it wasn't a 7-Up.

                                        Getting emotionally attached to anything (animate/inanimate) is a foolhardy task.
