"Seeing" someone who works at the same place that you do is
definitely an interesting situation.  My Dad was the director of a data
processing shop when a lady systems analyst indicated an interest in him.
His motto had always been "you don't get your meat where you get your
bread", so to speak.  However, he took the plunge and risked gossip and
the possibility of breaking up and having to still work together.  Al-
though people found out and murmured, it worked out well and to this day
they are the best of friends. This all started about 6-7 years ago; Dad 
was divorced in '77.

Lately, I have asked a young lady out to lunch here at work.  Her response
was fairly positive, although she "always studies over her lunch time"
as she was taking nightclasses.  Strange, though, that I've seen her lunching
with other guys since I asked her.  Guess I just don't have the "right stuff".  
A shame, too. She is a lovely thing...
