Caught In A Bad (Workplace) Romance

romance42-17579221A wise co-worker once told me, “Don’t dip your pen in company ink, son.”  Another wise, but not-so-articulate co-worker once told me, “Dude, you never wanna go to work knowing you’ve seen someone naked.  Never.  Ever.  Ever.”

I have practiced this adage for my entire professional career.  I’m apparently the only one.  The gym I work at is RIFE for people hooking up.  And the drama is palpable.  It’s a regular soap opera … “As The Treadmill Turns”.

The ad agency I work at is another love nest … although much more tastefully done.  We’ve never had workplace violence, but we have more than our fair share of workplace romances.  Nary a month goes by that I don’t go, “Wait, THOSE two are together?!  When did THAT happen?”

When you work closely with someone 40+ hours a week you’re bound to get close to them, right?  Albeit not THAT close.

But shhhh … this is where it gets good.

Boom chicka whah whah!

A new survey commissioned by Sensis Condoms has found that 17 percent of Americans admit to having sex at their job!  I can’t even wrap my brain around that.  Thank God I don’t work in a library.

And that’s not the half of it.

According to the study, 69% of folks like to do it in the back of cars, 28% get off in public parks, 3% of people have joined the Mile High club and 3% of people have done it at church!  Sweet Baby Jesus!

Am I just boring or old-fashioned?  Or maybe I don’t find my co-workers attractive?  (I don’t.)  All I know is that being a single mingle has its advantages.  Like never getting caught with your pants down at work.  Word.
