Workplace Relationships

Don’t be offended if you fall into this category, but I cannot fathom why anybody would want to date somebody they work with. Maybe it’s because I work at a high traffic, and high stress location of Starbucks. Or, it may just be me.

I’ve had the personal displeasure to observe first hand a workplace relationship blossom. When I see them together it’s all fine and dandy, which I guess proves that workplace couples can work. But, how they got to that point I will never know.

At work, especially during times of hectic chaos the absolute worst in people come out, and in my opinion their true personalities. All the emotions being displayed during these periods are overwhelming; it’s like P.M.S. on steroids. The whole ordeal is like a never ending cycle of anger, hysteria, tears, compassion, remorse, and regret. An apology is always arranged as a finale to this spastic behavior, and then it all begins again.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the people I work with. But, it’s one thing to get along with them and completely another to commit yourself to them.
