All that aside, it's probably not a great idea to go for someone at work. If it doesn't pan out and ends horribly, you're stuck looking at them day after day, and probably have had all your flaws pointed out to everyone she's close to, as well as all the secrets and details of the breakup. Or he/she could turn out to be wacko (happened where I work) and wind up stalking you until there's a really embarrassing scene and dramatic firing. Even if it works out, you have to see them 20 hours a day, and have not one tiny private thing to yourself.
