None of the gays in my office is in my department, which makes it tough to meet them but no big deal should I ever want to strike something up.

Is there anyone worth striking?

Perhaps. They keep us so isolated that I rarely see them.

When I went to our office holiday party, I recognized almost no one! And I don't mean I didn't know who the people were. I mean they were people I don't ever even recall seeing in the halls, lobby or elevator at any point in my two years here.

There are cute guys in the marketing department and VERY cute guys in the art department, but a very wise man once told me "No manhunting at work!"

Besides, I've been partnered for almost 14 years and at this company for 11 years. The ramifications of an affair-at-work going sour are too huge for me to dip my whatever into the company's inkwell.

But if I were single, it would be different.

Work romance really is just a bad idea all around. I learned that the hard way very early in my career.

Well, like I said, I'm not a technical "employee," so it's not the same.

I won't even be here next week most likely.

Me, too, SOMMS. I would never date an attorney as a result.

That being said, I remember being smitten with a summer associate many, many years ago. Know one knew his orientation, but I will say, he had great taste in clothes. He was a cutie and came by to chat with me every day. One day he asked me what I was doing for the weekend (I thought he was asking me out), and I said I was going to visit my family in CT but could come back early. Then I asked, what are you doing? He said, "going to Boston to see my girlfriend." I've never been more embarassed.

n69n-I was at the UGLIEST office in the world last week--and I don't mean the decor. But when I was at Marc Jacobs--whew!

I had one work affair at my old company with someone in another department. It was still an unwise thing to do but it was hot for a few weeks. Neither of us ever said anything to anyone at work.

Years later when I was no longer at that company a friend who still works there had lunch with my old work-fling and asked him point-blank if he had ever slept with anyone at the company.

Work-fling apparently kept his cool and answered, "Of course not...but you know who I always wanted to sleep with? PalJoey."

My friend was suspicious and asked me if I had ever slept with Work-fling. I just smiled and said, "Of course not...but I always wanted to."

Lildogs--if you are leaving, I think you should make your move. Give 'em something to remember you by.

I have an ad on a men's site. SHOCKING, I know. I was cruising along one evening about six months ago and had a guy chat me up. We chatted for hours, and then days. He finally asked me where I worked and having established a comfort level, I told him. Dead air. Yep, works at the same place, two floors up. We'd never met, we still haven't. Turns out he's single, but closeted here at work and it freaked him out.

They fired the REALLY hot guy who worked here--and there was a cute jewish guy who looked gay that seems to have disappeared as well. There's another probable gay but I don't think he's quite ready for this jelly.

Why did they fire the really hot, cute guy?

Do you both have faceless pictures on this, ahem, men's site?

Faceless but not headless?

I have a face and several body pix. I'm out at work. He had a VERY distant full body shot and two "head" shots. I really have no clue who he is and I kind of like that, and kinda like the mystery of it all.

I dunno, Dottie--he seemed like a good employee while he was here.

You know, SOMMS, I kinda wonder about that myself--cause I see guys out and about that I've seen online and I'm always wanting to say "You're that guy who's into plates of spaghetti on his face and footplay." So I figure it goes for me too--god help us.

One of the shots is of his dingle hanging out of his suit. It makes for fun hallway and mens room intrique.

there's got to be some married guys on the downlow.

Damn, you guys! NONE of the temp jobs I have taken have had cute boys!

Then again, fluorescent lighting generally make my boners shrivel.
