When it's best to just say no
Look folks, don't do anyone after the holiday office party.
There's no good reason, and it won't make you feel much in the way of deep feelings. This isn't any recent experience talking or anything (honest), but it comes from years of collected observation and wisdom from friends and co-workers. And it was the subject of a good blog that I read today.
If there's an ember of passion with someone at the workplace, stoke it at another time. But don't drop trousers for just anyone 'cause you're ready to jump in the sack. Actually, in our better moments, that's a pretty good rule for life. It's an even better rule for office environments.
Don't poop where you sleep. Anyone disagree?

I totally agree. Not to mention that you can't get out of seeing that person by lying about having to work. Coming from an office environment where relationships were the norm, I can say that every one of them ended in disaster for at least one person involved.
