Society & Culture The BigFooty Guide to getting the non-gender specific person of Your Desire (Part 8)

[Smoooothy]

For youngsters working in hopso or whatever then **** yeah go for it.

Once in a professional field it's a bit trickier. I had a great chance to drunkenly shag a lass I worked with about 4 years ago. All over each other one night. Might have even shared a kiss. I was pretty smashed so not 100% sure. But at the end of the night we decided it smarter to go our own ways home. It was a bit awkward at work for a couple of weeks but we go over it. But 4 years down the track and I do wish that night had ended differently.

The only positive is that we work at different sites, but my new role means I have leadership in the department. It probably wouldn't have looked good. Decides not to anyway, but it could have happened had a fee more drinks flowed

 

[Shupe]

Always go the smash and deal with the consequences later.

 

[GoodesStuff]

Shitting where you eat is encouraged by my boss, although we do share the offices with another company so a bit different.

Was going to say "geographically" where do you actually work near each other. In the same office/general area/same floor: NO.

If you say worked in different departments, different floors, different buildings, etc, I would say: YES.

 

[the_interloper]

Work chicks - yay or nay?

Need pics to decide.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Go for broke

You have to risk the depression of defeat if you wish to experience the excitement of victory

[Shell]

Lol I think that is an ok buffer zone then.

 

[perthblue]

'çhinese walls'

i don't know what this means and wtf is with that 'c'

probably - too late for now anyway - need to wait for the next conference!

Chinese wall is a business term describing an information barrier within an organization that was erected to prevent exchanges or communication that could lead to conflicts of interest.

eg; in a legal dispute you could have one firm representing both sides. 'Perth'would be plaintiff and 'Sydney'would be defendant.

as for the C, my typing is unique

ok.
still unsure how that was an answer to my original question. want to go for brunch?

In that situation if everything actually "worked out" rather than not working out, could be for the worse- due to the distance.


I think I could get into a relationship with someone at my work- is very easy to avoid someone in a school this size- if it didn't work out.

sorry I misinterpreted your questioning. I now realise you were referring to focusing on a woman on other side of the country (at least I think that's your issue). am happy to still do brunch.

Sometimes sex has ramifications?

 

[DemonTim]

Sometimes sex has ramifications?

Only when people let it (unless forced etc)

 

[Power Raid]

Work chicks - yay or nay?

Yep but with caution, respect and only the emotionally mature ones.

It does make sense you will find your equal in the work place having similar achievements, culture and education
