Romance in the workplace

(Sorry for the late post this morning, all ...)

We all know office romances are supposed to be taboo.

But anyone who has ever been romantically entangled with someone at work - particularly if it's a secret - likely knows the thrill of getting it on behind your co-workers' backs.

I started thinking about workplace romances the other day, while watching Jim and Pam float along in their happy little bubble on "The Office," while Angela and Dwight fought it out.

It's been a long time since I've dated anyone in the workplace - about five years, actually, since I've had a serious office romance - but I still remember how exciting, and somewhat titillating, the whole thing can be.

What's your history of office romances? Have you had any that worked out? And if you've dated someone at work and then had things fall apart, how did it impact your job?
