I Work With People

We all work with people. We all work with many people through our lifetimes. We all get to know things about people we would never talk to outside of our job’s environment. If you have ever seen The Breakfast Club then you just had a flash of the moment they are all upstairs sharing a moment when one of them says something along the lines of anyone would talk to the others outside of detention. The truth is no.

If you put people together in an area long enough, they will start to feel some sort of a connection. I have no idea why this is. I just know it happens. This connection is actually only felt while in that environment. Separate them and that feeling fades fast.

We all know that one super hot person at work and imagine a jaunt behind the filing cabinets and we all know that would make for an awesome day at work. We also know that will get us fired and completely incapable of of using that place as a reference on a resume. Ruining our past and crippling our future.

I have never worked with a female that I thought was just the hottest living creature ever. but while at work, they surely are the hottest readily available. See this is worse than beer goggles. This is more like a radius settling. It is always in your best interest to not settle. If you lower your standards, you go against your own judgment. Judgment that says ” hey that person is a jerk”. In those cases you get yourself into some situations that alter your state.

The riskier the relationship, the more appealing the other person becomes. Bosses daughter or son. Fact is, they will have done this with every person they wanted to. They just no longer work at your location and you are just a replacement until they are done with you. So you will never know just how long that list is.

That clearly isn’t the biggest issue. Lowering your standards isn’t the one thing that makes this bad news. It is the chance of losing your job. A job that you clearly enjoy or you wouldn’t be there. It is the chance of  doing something stupid That you can never take back.

Love your job, take a second review at that person and see past the idea that you can finally get your whim out, or get a sealed position in the company because you are doinking the most powerful person there that is accessible to you. That last one will always lead to you getting fired. ALWAYS.

Stare at that person and realize ” I can do better’ because the boss’s  daughter/son has a thin crappy selfish personality and is not near as attractive as you deserve.

There is no such thing as “office romance” there is just a bunch of kids trying to live out some old story they read or heard.
