Ha, all the more reason to dress a bit more casually then. I mean, things are bad when it's considered a cardinal sin to ask a co-worker for a date! Are these people for real or what?
I told you the various issues re: dating at work
1. She or he wants him or her, but not him or her
a. sexual harassment complaint, or domestic violence, can drag company in
2. They wanted each other, but one doesn't want the other any more
a. ditto sexual harassment and violence
3. They want each other but
a. one oversees the other and other co-workers complain of jealousy
b. female (or sometimes male) co-workers are upset that one of theirs is going out with a (charming, attractive, well paid) desirable guy at work (when they aren't supposed to) and they are jealous and compete for him
Sensory issues would certainly rule out any jobs for me which involved wearing closed in shoes unless it was in a cool temperature. Ditto with any kind of hot or constricting clothing. Other aspies have similar issues but thankfully not all of us.
The air conditioning keeps us at maybe 78 degrees Fahrenheit (or in Celsius or Centigrade, 25.56 degrees). The cost of air conditioning, heating, and lighting is factored into what we charge the customer for Federal labor schedules, GSA schedule, etc.
Don't worry. We only work between 74 and 78 degrees F. (23.33 to 25.56 C), almost a promise.
Well, for me to wear closed in shoes, the temperature would have to be 20 degrees or lower.
Chris, the issues you speak of exist in all workplaces and most people cope somehow with workplace romances (not always well but on the whole, okay) so I don't see why Kratos would be any different. I think you're looking for excuses not to put yourself on the line. That's okay but please don't hide behind workplace policies. Just be honest and say that you're dead scared of having a relationship that might fall apart.
. If *I* find it distracting, what on earth does it do for people who find such things attractive?
