Re dating at work:
#1 I don't do it and that's how I stay married (for 27 years).
#2 For a lot of the folks where I work, it is almost the only way. The hours and schedule are too brutal.
#3 The company is actually pretty good about it all. We have had marriages made and marriages broken. Sounds just like the outside world.
#4 (I'm a computer geek at a newspaper). Around here, the choices are pretty good. We are a big paper and we can hire the best. Pretty much anyone who walks thru the door is educated, intelligent, and hard working (although we do get ringers sometimes). Not a bad place to fish. Spend a little time with them and you can find out if they have a heart, and if it's in the right place. If I was single and looking, I would want to be here.
I got lucky and married way better than I deserved, a long time ago. She still puts up with me so the few remaining active brain cells I have tell me to hang on to her with all I've got. Case in point: I bought her an '88 Sl for Christmas a couple years back. She lets me drive it on the track at speed from time to time.
That's mutual respect!
