Office Romance – Tears or Laughter
Given the amount of time we spend at work each day, it’s of little surprise that romance blooms in offices. Whether in a banking, insurance, IT, government or similarly related workspace, with Cupid’s arrow targeted at you like an Excocet missile, you stand no chance.
Whilst all bones of reasonableness will have left your body, you may still have the small voice of conscience whispering quietly from your shoulder. Even though your heart is ready to burst with the euphoria of the new love in your life, her/his voice is worth listening to, albeit now and again. Just like all good Hollywood love stories, an office romance will have drama, mania and heightened emotions. Where possible, keep control.
Privately sent email exchanges and clandestine meetings out of work can afford the affair more secrecy, especially as in it’s early stages, no one knows if or how it will progress. Also, you may not be aware of what the company you work for’s policy is on such a delicate matter.
You may believe that your elation as your eyes meet across the office desks will go un noticed by other staff members, but love is a magical power and will be obvious to all. Be prepared for the gossip mongers who will be looking for fuel to fire their very special brand of tittle tattle.
Your secret trysts by the photocopier as your relationship progresses and seemingly innocuous meetings next to the filing cabinetswill not go unseen. An office romance is a saga played out for all to witness, a drama with a plot that fellow work colleagues will be pleased to see unfold.
If it appears that the romance is successful and to be made public, an excellent way to let all know is by rumour. A surefire method of rapid information distribution. Telling someone in confidence will soon have the joyful news spread right across The Office grapevine in no time at all, so be ready for the congratulations that are guaranteed to ensue.
Conversely, should it be decided that the romance is not to be, it is better to secure new employment and leave the current position on a ‘high’, rather than to stay putand languish or remain in what could easily become an untenable and uncomfortable position.

Office Hours $15.59 Romance and tragedy on a college campus Office Hours is loosely based on stories I heard from colleagues and students during my office hours as a professor. No one should hunt for themselves in these tales as they are exaggerated, changed and modified so as to be unrecognizable to the teller of the tale. Friendship, differing roles, romance and tragedy are all part of the story. |

Wired-A Romance $17.49 The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test for our own age, the story of a dreamer who turned American media upside down and suffered the consequences Louis Rossetto had no money, no home, no job. Five years later he owned the hottest magazine in America and was poised to become an international tycoon, with America’s most powerful financiers by his side. Rossetto was the founder and editor of Wired, whose hyperactive Day-Glo pages proclaimed that every American institution was obsolete. Instantly, Wired, was everywhere on television, passed around the halls of Congress, displayed in the office of the president of the United States. Wired, ‘s headquarters in San Francisco became a pilgrimage site for everybody who wanted to be at the white-hot center of the digital revolution. Not since the early days of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone had anybody so brilliantly channeled the enthusiasms of his era. But this was only the beginning. Wired cast an uncanny spell, creating a feedback loop that grew stunningly out of control. Wired, ‘s online site, HotWired, designed and sold the first banner advertisements for the World Wide Web, unleashing a commercial frenzy. Wired, reached for empire, with a book-publishing company, a broadcast division, and foreign editions all over the globe. But as the market’s enthusiasm outstripped the limits of reason, Rossetto faced a battle over the fate of Wired that would prove the ultimate test of his radical ideas. Gary Wolf, one of Wired, ‘s most popular writers, takes no prisoners in this insider’s account, telling a story that is alternately thrilling, hilarious, heartbreaking, and absurd. Now that bumper stickers read-ing please god-just one more bubble have been sighted on the highways of California, Wired A Romance goes beyond the dot.com clichés and paints a deeply affecting portrait of the boom. From the Hardcover edition. |

In Office Hours $3.95 IN OFFICE HOURS is the story of Stella and Bella, two intelligent working women who each fall for impossible lovers–at work. Kellaway’s keen observations on the way in which affairs move from state to state are a sort of masterclass in office love, bringing to life both the excitement of illicit romance and the ridiculousness of business behavior and language with a sharp sense of humor. IN OFFICE HOURS is intelligent, funny, moving and agonizing, but it’s also so painfully reconizable to any woman who has ever worked in an office or ever been in love. Kellaway hits a real nerve with her depictions of how people come to get into the emotional messes that we do and then how very difficult it is to get out again. |

Cipher: A Romance $34.51 PREFATORY AND DEDICATORY. MY DEAR L Do you remember standing with me upon the bridge, and tossing chip boats into the river, and how eagerly we watched to see which should drift ashore, or wreck themselves against the stone pier, or remain idle and motionless in the eddy pool, and which should glide safely through the arch and down the smooth stream beyond Come, now, and help me launch another venture, the little craft called Cipher, whose construction you have watched with such ready sympathy and interest, and to whose freight you have so largely contributed. What is to be its fate Will it be stranded, or shattered, or left idly in the pool, or run down by heavier craft, or sunk by the missiles of those wicked boys upon the other bank Shall we call to the boys and deprecate their attack by a confession that our little boat is not an iron-clad war vessel, much less our final idea of an elegant yacht, and that even for a chip boat she has been almost spoiled by over-whittling No, never mind the boys let us say nothing at all to them, but, standing hand in hand, watch together the fortunes of our little craft, thanking God that, should she sink or should she swim, she does not carry our lives or our happiness with her. Concord, Mass., April, 1869. J. G. A. CIPHER A NOVEL. PART FIRST. CHAPTER I. MR. GILLIESS FIRST LETTER, T Q. A. GILLIES, Post-Office. Why, heres a letter for Mr. Gillies. I First one that ever I see The scene was the interior of a city post-office, the speaker a carrier or postman, who stood at one end of a long table assorting a heap of letters thrown there for him to arrange and distribute. The clerk whom he addressed paused a moment in his occupation of can- celling thestamps upon a mountain of outward-bound letters and glanced at the one in the hand of the carrier. For Gillies, sure enough, and as you say, the first one I ever knew of his getting. There he is, making up the northern mail. Youd better hand it over. Lets see what hell say to it, remarked the carrier, crossing the office and approaching another table covered with letters and packages, where stood a middle-aged man, with stooping shoulders and the sallow complexion peculiar to men and plants grown in the shade. He was busy in folding small parcels of the letters before him in wrappers, announcing their contents at the same time in a voice whose sonorous sweetness contrasted even grotesquely with his appearance, while a clerk opposite rapidly entered the list thus dictated in a large volume, and two assistants tied and backed or docketed the little packages. Barnstable, N. H., twenty-seven, nine, three. Biddeford, Maine, six, two, intoned the yellow man. A letter for you, Mr. Gillies, interposed the carrier, it tossing upon the table. Not forme. Never have letters. Benson, Vermont, twelve, four chanted the clerk. Youre J. Q. A. Gillies, I expect, arent you asked the carrier, a little indignantly, as he caught up the letter and thrust it under the eyes of the impassive |

Alicia, Brice, and Caroline are the ABCs-three close friends who have been brought together while working at the cozy medical practice of Drs. Markowitz and Strub in Midburg, Ohio. But when Alicia and Dr. Strub begin an affair, a dramatic chain of events ensues that gradually but drastically alters the office environment-ultimately requiring all five coworkers to redefine their relationships to one another. As Dr. Strub’s romantic life is thrown into turmoil, Dr. Markowitz is faced with the dire illness of his own wife and the secret life she has kept from him.

The Bravo Of Venice; A Romance $1.79 pubOne.info present you this new edition. Matthew Gregory Lewis, who professed to have translated this romance out of the German, very much, I believe, as Horace Walpole professed to have taken The Castle of Otranto from an old Italian manuscript, was born in 1775 of a wealthy family. His father had an estate in India and a post in a Government office. His mother was daughter to Sir Thomas Sewell, Master of the Rolls in the reign of George III. She was a young mother; her son Matthew was devoted to her from the first. As a child he called her "Fanny, " and as a man held firmly by her when she was deserted by her husband. From Westminster School, M. G. Lewis passed to Christ Church, Oxford. Already he was busy over tales and plays, and wrote at college a farce, never acted, a comedy, written at the age of sixteen, The East Indian, afterwards played for Mrs. Jordan’s benefit and repeated with great success, and also a novel, never published, called The Effusions of Sensibility, which was a burlesque upon the sentimental school. He wrote also what he called "a romance in the style of The Castle of Otranto, " which appeared afterwards as the play of The Castle Spectre |
