View Full Version : I think I made a huge mistake

I just recommended my boyfriend for a job at a business located in the same building as where I work.

But the more I think I about it the more I think it might suck for us to be working in the same building.:( Sure we can carpool and have lunches together,but honestly that might be too much time together. I know husbands and wives that work together in the same office and I don't know how they do it or why they don't get sick of eachother. Just the though of working in the same building seems like it might be too close...I like to be able to come home and say "honey, how was your day?" and not already know because we discussed it over lunch or that I saw him smoking a cig in the parking lot.:(

I was just trying to help, I mean he really needs a job. We live together so every day that he's jobless is another day that I have to figure out how to pay for everything. as desperate as I am for him to find something, I just don't know if what I did was a good thing.

oh well just cause i made a recommendation doesn't mean they'll hire him; I'm not sure he's the perfect fit for what they are looking for, though I know he has the skills & it's something he could do with a little bit of training. perhaps they'll grant him an interview at least but the rest will be about how well he gets along with the owner. (except the owner is really nice. seems like he'd be cool to work for.)

ugh.

tell him to take the job for money but to not stop looking

that's true...but then I look like an asshole to the business owner for recommending him if he's not going to stick around.


HE was just going to take a shit job for a few months because his uncle has offered to pay him to do some sailing with him for two months. and his uncle is wealthy so he was going to pay him quite well. it's unfortunate that the timing is all off on his old job ending and this sailing thing not happening for a few more months. if his uncle was ready to start the trip now we'd be set.

anyway...he usually has no problem finding jobs...but for some reason it's just really hard right now...things aren't coming up...even the shitty jobs aren't panning out. boo.

I carpool with my wife occasionally and we usually have lunch together...it won't be as bad as you think....plus think about the lunch time lovin that you can have. Thats a bonus.

I would love that! except I've only had my dude for a few months. I think maybe if we lived together it would be too much. I don't know though, 4 months and he's still the least annoying person I know.

hummm...well perhaps I should think a little more positively about it. thanks.

I mean he is my favorite person and all. (y)

I work with my boyfriend and it really works quite well for us. We do carpool and have lunch everyday but we don't get sick of each other. If we worked in the same department it might be a problem.

work can be a pretty shitty place to be in the correct state of mind for someone you care about.

For me work is always a shitty place to be.

I did that with my ex, and it blew total ass. We were even seated together in the same cube. And yeah- we got sick of one another real quick.

But there were some perks. He'd bring me lunch everyday, and I had somebody to talk to.

It was funny how people thought for the longest time that he was my dad and not my boyfriend :rolleyes:
