Pen/Company ink

[longboy]

Good or bad? Anybody have any great or horrible stories regarding this subject? I need good fodder to encourage a fellow coworker to TCB. Thank you for your attention to this, please discuss :)

[Big Dave]

Are they equals in the work place or is one higher up?

[longboy]

One is higher up, but not in a position of power (so to speak).

[CSP]

Call me slow or whatever, but TCB is?

[longboy]

Sorry, "Take care of business".

[Simon]

did it... It was a nightmare.... wont do it again.....

[jeeplvr79]

Other companies carry many varieties of pens... if you stick with one company the supply will dwindle or discontinue and cause issues with current stock. I've never had a good experience with it and have heard MANY, MANY horror stories. The only way that I know for it to work is if both are on the same page which seldom happens. Good luck though :D

I married the receptionist from my first job out of college. If you are looking for ways to convince against, I am not the guy to ask.

Quite the opposite. I'm trying to live vicariously ;)

LB - We need :worthless: of said company ink before we can be of assistance :flipoff2:

I'm also not the guy to ask - it's worked out extremely well for me, and will be completely official on August 17th of this year.
:D

PS - still wouldn't mind it if we have some brazilians (NSFW) (http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=100059) working 'round here, though...

I dated a gal who was higher up than me at one company and in a position of power politically at the company, but not over me. She turned out to be a mean biotch who was fawked-up in the head and a sore loser. People all over work knew about our break-up because she couldn't be professional and had to dish out sour grapes. I, on the other hand, kept a professional stance and it didn't take long for her to realize that she'd be better off buttoning her lip because it was turning against her. Lucky for me another job-opportunity came about (actually she was not a factor...I'd have changed jobs whether she was in the picture or not) and I moved on.

I didn't learn my lesson and I dated a gal at my next job. But that time, when we broke up, it was different...we were both able to be professional and function together without airing any differences. In fact, most folks never knew we broke up until they asked me if we were still seeing each other and I said "no." I suppose I was willing to date this gal because I saw her as able to maintain a professional composure.

The moral of the story is this: it can be okay, depending on who the individuals are, but to use caution. If those individuals are professionals under any circumstance, then I say they could go for it, otherwise I'd say they should avoid it. If one of them can't be professional should they break up, then it can be a nightmare, even for innocent bystanders.

Plenty of other crazy nutjobs in the world don't raise the ire of the ones in the office

Don't get your meat where you get your bread. Bad experience don't care to go into it.

[Clod Hopper]

If you have enough mind to stop and question the situation (good first step), simply answer the question:

When things don't work out, will I still be able to work everyday with this person?

Yes or no, you will have your answer.

Or like me, you smear that company ink all over the page, marry her and live in bliss every day since.:D



(CYA ya know. got to be careful, she might read this...:flipoff2: )

[scottycards]

Worry about possible fallout later.

For the love of God, do not mix business with pleasure.................. Horrible experience that I neither want to explain or relive..........

[SuicideTireZJ]

Get it when and where you can get it. Get as much as possible. Don't stop until you get enough.

[1BGDOG]

No one here has worked in the restaurant/bar scene?!?!

Hit it drunk and high.

[kmon35]

Don't fish off the company pier.

And, in my line of work, don't do the blue.

Enough said.

[kmon35]

Of course, since you are trying to live vicariously, tell them to go for it. It could make things entertaining.

[kdl_golden]

I met all 3 of my wives (2 of them now former wives, I'm not Mormon!) at work. Now if that isn't a great endorsement what is?

[scottycards]

No one here has worked in the restaurant/bar scene?!?!

Hit it drunk and high. In the bathroom, in a booth after closing, up on the rooftop deck, or in the walk-in freezer.


So true.

[Mack]

Yeah, Austin, you should tell them to hit it ;)

[longboy]

I have been telling him to hit it :flipoff2:

[cheftyler]

So true.

Couldn't agree more...mmmmmm...freezer sex.

[Wild Hare]

met my current wife at work. 16years ago. great decision.
then again, have seen many not so good things come about. scorned women seam to like to play the sexual harassment card when things go south and create bullshit problems.

The simplest way to protect yourself against harassment is to video tape it. Just for safety's sake.

[HaySeed77]

I say if they are both single and she ain't nutzo... then the words of my late granddad come to mind. "Boy, if you pass up a piece of a** your one behind!"

[Wild Hare]

but they walk a fine line between nutzo and not. its hard to tell until its too late

[HaySeed77]

Agreed. Maybe just hit it drunk for the plausible deny-ability?

[Mack]

Funny, considering this guy walks the fine line between smarta$$ and dumba$$ on a daily basis. :D

[ColoradoXJ]

:lmao:

why didn't i read this thread earlier!!??!!?? i agree, do it and worry about it later. :thumbsup:

i've done it at most of my restaurant/bar jobs...

hooked up with a couple of them at the first restaurant i worked at, then went to a different restaurant, slept with one, then broke it off with her and started dating a girl (which lasted 2 years)... that led to the funnyness. my then-gf couldn't stand the first chick, and the rest of us just sat back and laughed at the drama. and at the bar i work at now, i was messing around with one of the servers, but the management told me it was her or my job, so i broke it off... she wasn't very cool about it, mainly cause i'd still come into the bar with other girls... :P the management just shakes their heads at me when we hire new girls

[SuicideTireZJ]

Looks like we lost a hell of a guy when he passed!

[starbreaker666]

Still married to the one I worked with. No issues at all. Now, my wife did leave, but we worked together for 5 years and still going strong. You all must be real crappy at relationships.

[ColoradoXJ]

who is looking for relationships? :flipoff2:


i thought we were talking 'taking care of business'....

[oleblue]

They can work - just use:

I was going to pass on this thread, but.......

I met my Wife at a previous employer a little over 11 years ago.
She was my boss at the time. :D We worked very well and everything
was professional until a day trip up to Estes Park one day, when the feelings finally came out. After that it was still all business until we collectively decided that one of us needed to leave the company because we both wanted to continue the relationship. She left about one month later for a nice new gig, we got married about 4 years ago and are still going strong after 10+ years together. We got married in Estes Park as well. :beer:

And LB, does this friend of yours frequent this board (IIRC, a few of your co-workers do)?

In the past 72 hours, I have found out that "you dont shit where you eat", that is all.

The ink is no longer the companies.

[longboy]

What? booooo!

[longboy]

Wait, is she going to her 'other' job? ;)

[Mcstiff]

Yeah, we now have a FT hookup across the street (starting mid next week) :D

[longboy]

Well, the 'pen' has until the 15th to TCB then :flipoff2:

If I remember this lesson correctly it's more like "FOR the last 72 hours" .. over and over and OVER.... :eek:

Sorry to hear about the sharp learning curve.

-- let's drink waaay too much time to think !

[Mcstiff]

You got a intercom installed?

I guess they rake it in over there. Not a long term option for sure.

[ColoradoSkier]

Wait, isn't Hooters across the street?

In the past 72 hours, I have found out that "you dont shit where you eat", that is all. Correct. You are to take all future sh*ts at Walmart.

And why do I get the feeling that LB, Mack and Mcstiffy are in a secret club?

[JeepWheelin02]

Club is no secret, its the HYCC (Handle of Your Choice Cocktail Club)

[Mcstiff]

We have openings if anybody wants to join the club!

[JeepWheelin02]

I think Im an honorary member unless they voted me out by now.

[Leon Phelps]

I was grandfathered into the club. Been a long time, 10yr + member.

[Mack]

:rolleyes: Guy's got all sorts of excuses about being busy right now, but says he'll keep working on it- "Just because she's leaving doesn't mean she's gone."

Yeah, Saraha for sure.

Ya'll sufferin from Jailhouse Syndrome in that place or what?

[Mack]

It's me, a guy who calls himself 'longboy' and another guy known as 'mcstiff'. Take at as you will.

There's as much sausage in this place as on the griddle at a pancake fundraiser.

[Mcstiff]

Lol...

[jeeplvr79]

So you're sayin it's some hot sausage :D

Jimmy Dean festival for sure around these parts as well. Hell, the pregger chic at the messican buffet today actually looked good. But I think that was the nooner margarita helping the cause.

[Jefe]

Has the company looked to order newer more decorative ink?

[Leon Phelps]

In my case, we get it on occasion, they get chased out since many here have not dipped their pens in a LONG time.

Yes. (http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?p=1059884#post1059884) :D
