- NBQ00-7
So I have a crush on a girl at work. I even dreamt of her last night. In the dream we fell in love at work and started kissing in front of our colleagues without giving a shit.
Now in real life I’m not sure if it would be appropriate to let her know about my feelings. She knows that I find her cute because I told her so in a jokingly way. And sometimes we look at each other and smile, She hasn’t looked away like a girl that wouldn’t be interested. But at the same time I’m not sure if she’s really into me.
I’m hesitant because of the work situation. It’s weird to pursue somebody at work, no?
And if I get rejected it could be even weirder.
- I'd steer well clear, unless she made the first move.
The last thing you need is an accusation of sexual harassment in the workplace.Continuity - send her all of your posts to the chick of the day thread. i'm sure she'll fall in love with your charming personality.imbecile
- Imbecile you stilll have issues with female beauty and photography.NBQ00
- @ Cont, I think she’s cool and wouldn’t do such a thing. Also it’s not like I would harass her. If anything I’d just tell her I think she’s cute and if she’d...NBQ00
- ...be interested in a date or if she’s interested at all in my interest in her.NBQ00
- i'm positive once you let her know the appreciation you have for the female body, she won't help but see you for the exemplary human you areimbecile
- i mean, you wouldn't be embarrassed if she knew you objectified women all the time anonymously online, right? if she's into it, you're golden. show her.imbecile
- Don't let her know about your feelings, try to hang out with her more if she welcomes it (lunch breaks, coffee break, then walk to commute after work)spl33nidoru
- Eventually you'll figure it out if she's into you. But yeah, careful with the work romance situation.spl33nidoru
- How about you ask her to to hang out outside work and see how that goes? Bonus points if you have an idea for a date if she says yes.monNom
- Simple yes/no. No pressure. No weirdness.monNom
- The concept of dates is flawed. Tell her you’re going to X, and ask if she’d like to come along. Easy to turn down, doesn’t put you at risk,scarabin
- and if she digs you she’ll agree. Next questionscarabin
- scarabin's right. friends first is old school but golle gee gosh beaver, it works
who'da thunk?SteveJobs - Jobs are temporary. Love can last a lifetime.ArmandoEstrada
- nah man you gotta play it:

- Scarabin's got it. One step at a time, if this was design you'd still be doodling on a napkin at this point. This isn't time to call a boardroom meeting ;)zarkonite

- X = Office toiletsted
- don't forget to say hi first
how clouded this story is right now she doesn't even knows your namested - garnering advice how to creep on a coworker from a public forum regarding a relationship that should stay professional is very respectful. i like your style.imbecile
- there is nothing wrong with not knowing how to approach someone you really want.
just don’t forget her when you think about these ideas, ehhsted - Is this the same girl as last time?pango
- You’re not in love. You love her work personality. Do not mistake politeness for affection. Find someone you don’t work with.********

- Lol ... How old are you?AQUTE
- I dated a girl from work. Traveled the world with her and almost married her... we are still great friends. Go for it. Don't be a bitch.AQUTE
- I've been hit on in work. For years I'd probably have the same reaction that you described. I mostly didn't want to make my work situation worse.shellie
- If I were you, I'd be careful. She's not exactly inviting this. She might just be being nice. if you're wrong, the consequences could be very negative for you.shellie
- Thanks for advice, all. You may be right, shellie. Good to read a comment from a girls perspective. Hmm, what to do.NBQ00
- At the same time it’s 2020 and people are generally cool. It’s not like I work for a huge uptight corporation or a bank.NBQ00
- She already knows about your plans, girls can smell it from kms. be kind, be brave, life's short but watch the price you're going to payOBBTKN
- that comment right there. I put up with what I considered decision harrassment from a creative director for 12 years. I prayed about it here.shellie
- he thought he was being cute. it took a long time before I stopped joking around and outright rejected him. I was afraid of poisoning my own well.shellie
- and, he's lucky I didn't get him fired. i didn't take that step also afraid of poisoning my own well. its all bad.shellie
- Shellie I found my chic at work. Also banged a bunch of others. Simply put your environment is the so called closest hunting grounds********
- Is that not accepted. Humans hit on ppl close and work relations get mixed. Look at Kamala harris she made it work for her happily********
- And I know that sounds bad. But is not more just the human condition and individuals make there own ends from the reality********
- What u think is construed as power is just convenience when working hard and no time. That employees is off limits makes********
- No sense and same as a club any suitor is gonna drive his merit and with home. That said a person using a position for sex walk away from********
- How long can a company last that hires such ppl willingly on both parts. If a scenario rises u evaluate your measure of merit********
- Can't really blame those sleeping to the top as shameful. .. just more aware of their value and I terrsts********
- And I've had rich oldl chics fondle my boys on shoots. I am appreciative of the attention. But that's where I draw the line and always clear********
- Never had some pissant client get butt hurt but totally possible and if they do I have no desire to work with them********
- Either way nbq. Do you. Can go a ton of ways but it's not american to not try for what u want have some plan bs in pkace********
- Not much you can do in this type of situations other than hope that the attraction is mutual. Make clear that you like her, either directly (as you did)drgs
- or indirectly (eye contact which lasts 1 second too long). This will plant a seed in her to evaluate you as a partner. Later you will know if its ment to bedrgs
- Consider how awkward it'll be when you are together but have an argument and have to sit all day in the office making pleasantries.shapesalad
- The main reason why you shouldn't be in a relationship with someone you work with or a start a business with is: Work = chance to get away from your family!shapesalad
- The heart grows fonder with distance.shapesalad
- When you spend all evening with her, sleep with her, breakfast with her... will she still be cute when you have to spend all day at work with her?shapesalad
- What I've learnt spending all 24/7 with my wife for the past 6 months due to covid work at home is: my heart grew fonder being at the office 4 days a week.shapesalad
- We are closer after all this time together, but a day at work, away from her, to think about her, consider how great she is, to be happy to see her after 8hrsshapesalad
- I long for that again...shapesalad
- In the meantime, take out your dick and bang it on the desks of all the other male coworkers to establish dominancescarabin
- @shellie what is "decision harassment"? Autocorrect? or is this a thing?********
- *sexual harassment
as autocorrect is a Bshellie - hang on, does this woman report to you, if so, gtfo, have I missed something? Shel, that's horrible - fuck people like that. NBQ - how many work there?whatthefunk
- all i got from workplace relationships are sweet memories, so just go for it and don't forget that the door of theoffice toilet is always open for some bangingsted
- listen to scarabin he is an old dog, knows all the nuances.sted
- Thanks scarabin, will do.NBQ00
- I'd steer well clear, unless she made the first move.

What's your opinion:
If you're applying for a job at a large corporate firm, in the section "Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability" - do you think it makes you more or less likely to get an interview if you say you have a disability?
In theory it shouldn't change anything, but in reality... what do you think the net outcome is?
- Probably makes no difference as long as said disability doesn't prevent you from doing the jobspl33nidoru
- In which case, is it even worth mentioning ?spl33nidoru
- Those are mandatory questions in the US.zarkonite

The other morning, up the stairs, Alexa was talking alone, and our devil black cat was staring at her. I jumped from the studio to the kitchen for a coffee, where the echo dot is at; she stopped talking and the cat turned and looked at me like I was interrupting something...
I was terrified, the stupid machine can communicate with our cat, they're up to something!!
Tried not to make eye contact with the cat all the morning. In lunch-time, when I told my wife the story, she started laughing like crazy.
"She was reminding us of our nephew's birthday!!"
"Yes ok, surely you are right...* "

The laundry room for my apartment is in another building, just out back, and as you walk in there is a cabinet for clothes that people have forgot or left - odd socks and whatnot - and on top people leave books they no longer want, kinda friendly like - all types - audiobook cd's, cookbooks, fiction, kid's story books, whatever. This morning I go in to start my wash and someone has left a hardback Gregory Crewdson collection. Bet your golden, hotpant-clad ass I am having that.

When someone asks yo auto expand on a topic, reply:
"I can speak about that..."
or
"I can speak to that...."
Seems the modern way is to say 'to' instead 'about'. How can you speak to a topic? You can speak 'about' it to someone, no?

I love how combining a 35+ year old prime lens with a modern camera - X-T20 with a Canon 50mm FD - create fairly pleasurable results. Oh, and an FD 25mm extension tube - I'm no pro by any means but I enjoy when I get good results, and if not - I try again. Always the persistent monkey.

- tbh, 80% of it could probably get binned without any consequence. The problem there is the 'probably' not being 'definitely'.Nairn
- It's amusing to me how small this little drive is,compared to the four internal drives and all the old externals I have, yet is still bigger in capacity.Nairn

Any of you use room air purifiers?
I just finished my usual Sunday housework and, like always, I was shocked by the sheer amount of dust that settles on surfaces after just a week.
So, I'm thinking of getting something like this:
https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/pro…
Do they help? Should I even bother?
- Yes. Run a good filter for a few hours and you smell and feel the difference.********
- That seems overpriced. Get an ugly dumb powerful one.********
- (Probably does nothing against Covid.)********
- Haha! I don't need it to suck up Covid, I just need it to help with the amount of dust I have to clean off surfaces every week.Continuity
- mediamarkt is only good to look up the product, everything is overpriced with a decent 15-20% minimum marginsted
- I bought two these, really good.

- Thanks fellas, I'll have to look into it. Bonus points if one of these things could help me not wake up every fucking morning all congested.Continuity
- Make sure it's an ionizer.sea_sea
- For allergen, get HEPA filter for air purifier. For your dust problem airpurifier won't help much. You need to take a look at your air duct and furnance filter.pango
- No air ducts, and it's hot water heat through a radiator.Continuity
- Replacement filters are expensive. You should just be regularly dusting, sweeping, vacuuming. Then use the hepa filter to purify the air.********

I checked today on COTD thread and have to ask what the f is going on there?
Is there an anti-NBQ00 thing going on?
And I'm not even talking about his posts...cause I'm pretty sure if someone posted half of what he posts they wouldn't be downvoted.
So what's the story?- https://www.qbn.com/…sted
- seriously?! no, he's getting downvotes way before that post.oey_oey
- in that post he opens up and doesn't act like an asshole at all.oey_oey
- he thanks everybody for the advice and sounds pretty sincere.oey_oey
- someone judges him for being something but that person too checks COTD so?oey_oey
- there must be something else, it feels a bit like bullying for me somehow.oey_oey
- It is bullying, however some users are a bit butthurt by the existence of the COTD thread so he (NBQ) is an easy target as he posts in it.PonyBoy
- It's easy to feel 'justified' in your bullying / hate when you get a lil QBN mob to join in w/you. NBQ00's a big boy though... handles it well.PonyBoy
- so they check on COTD just to downvote? that's really childish. why not doing some constructive shit like promoting feminism?oey_oey
- I would like to see that but I also quit that thread cause some people's comments and posts are worse than posting a picture on COTD...oey_oey
- whatever, it seems he can handle it. I was just curious, I don't really want to start a discussion and be judging people though I did a bit as a reaction.oey_oey
- my posts get downvote as well I just don't post as often.pango
- https://media4.giphy…sted
- To be fair everyone else gets downvote as well. He just posts more often than everyone.pango
- awwwww bullied T_T
https://i.pinimg.com…pango - NBQ / chukkaphob gets downvoted because he posts basic, dehumanized sexual treacle. i only downvote him when it's egregious, however.sarahfailin
- "cause I'm pretty sure if someone posted half of what he posts they wouldn't be downvoted"
