In fact, I have a friend who had never been at a new job without meeting a new guy, the last of whom she married!

Dear Poll: Do You Mix Business With Pleasure?
I've asked you before how you feel about dating people you work with, but what about befriending the people you work with? Since we inevitably spend more time with our co-workers than our friends and family, it's easy to develop strong bonds. But no matter how much you may try to deny it, we live in a dog-eat-dog world.

Fantastic Mr. Fox: Lives Up to Its Title
For the past five years, Wes Anderson's wide fan base has been waiting for his first fully animated film.

There's hardly a more exciting time in someone's life than when they discover they are willfully pregnant. Most mamas-to-be want to scream it from the mountain tops but there's usually one ear they'd like to shield — their boss's. Many women try to hide their expectant status until it is blatantly obvious to co-workers and their higher-ups because they don't know how their news will be received.
Who Is Your Professional Idol?
I finally dished out $10 (well, $24 if you count my popcorn, candy and soda!) to see This Is It, and while it was fascinating to see Michael Jackson's backstage persona on the job, I was particularly struck by the awe his backup dancers had for him. The documentary opens with an emotional scene of the crew sharing their audition tales — shot before MJ's death — and throughout the film we see the chosen few standing stage left grooving to Michael's sound checks. It's clear from their tears, stories, and smiles that the dancers worship his professional history.
