    Red face work affairs

    who here has had one?

    i've just completed 9 12hr shifts at work, 5 of which were night shifts. i spend more time with some poeple at work then i do at home.

    night shifts are long and boring. some harmless fun and the odd bit of flirting helps pass the night although nothing ever happens.......



    haven't done anything i'm going to regret yet......

    mods, should this thread become abusive or get out of hand please close and delete

    I ended up dating someone at a callcenter i worked at for about 6 months. There was no lunch time toilet meetings or anything but yeah i wont ever do that again.

    WHen **** hit the fan she start sabotaging my work station. Headsets would mysteriously be severed and papers were missing and what not. I think the sabotage was more exciting than the relationship hahaha, every day there was something new for me to fix/find.

    i know the feeling. i work from 11am till whenever the night ends. usually 11:30pm on weeknights and 1 or 2 am friday/sat night. Because of the hours most of the people at work are very close. Many have found love at work. 5 of the directors have met their partners at work. So have some of the staff.
    Flirting makes the time go faster, especially when it does go that extra step. I cant feel guilty about it, im single

    When I worked at Hungry Jacks in Adelaide when I was at uni, a lot of the crew were students from high school to uni. There were some people who did get involved and the **** always hit the fan with the manager having to step in. Personally, no I haven't had a work affair.

    Seriously, compared to the talent I used to see at uni, where the ratio was 3 chicks per guy, work had nothing.

    I ended up meeting my current girlfriend of almost three years there so it was definately the better option.

    Met my current girlfriend through work. She was my boss so to speak (trainee manager) but we never listened to her what so ever, what do you expect from a bunch of guys all aged between 21-26 who are all mates. She then found that flirting with me got me to work It just grew from there.

    Never done it but I think its playing with fire! sure have a good flirt and have a good time but you run the risk of everything turning to ****, if your single then go for your life but when kids and stuff are involved I just don't see a root being better than memories shared and the sanity of your children, have to be a pretty awesome fling to erase all that!
    Friends have done it though and it almost never works out, some funny stories of the single people but the married ones always cop it. As the saying goes "does not matter where you get your appetite so long as you eat at home"
    I dont drink these days. I am allergic to alcohol and drugs. I breakout in handcuffs!

    The less people know about how sausages and laws are made, the better they'll sleep at night.

    even if its not an affair it can get quite awkward especially when you ring your boss on a drunken night from a quite bedroom from said girls phone because it seemed funny at the time.

    Or you turn up to work to find that there are photos of you and the new apprentice in bed together at the party the night before.
