maelorin at 09:57pm on 17/04/2005there is an oft told 'rule' that one should never date a co-worker. the ugliness that follows when things go wrong makes for lots of unpleasantness in the office.
in the past week, i got to see a co-worker couple bust up on the footpath outside the building they work in. it was a few minutes of pretty awkward body language, with arm waving and yelling, and so on. then the parting. and the walking away. followed by the walking back, and trying to get composed for the walking into the same building. together, but apart.
i sure hope they weren't manager and secretary, or something. any of the stereotypical parings.
on the home front, i'm wondering about one of my colleagues. just the usual uncertainty-ness-ness.

During college, I worked for a law firm. And for a few months, I dated one of their law clerks. It was all fine and well until we broke up. He had the nerve to dump me just after I'd had minor surgery. It did not go over well in the office, where I was very well loved by my coworkers. So well loved, in fact, that after a little while another of the law clerks started dating me. That went equally poorly, dating on and off for three years, during which time he tried despereately to hide the fact that he was dating me from the people at the office, probably because he wasn't really treating me right.
Now, I just don't date at work.

there are very few excuses for treating someone poorly. fewer still if you're dating.
as i see things, if you have to hide the relationship, then something's not right. [but no need to shout about it from chandeliers either]
i have achieved clarity today. today was a good day.
