I don’t know if I’ve ever had an office husband but I’ve been very close with several male bosses (in totally appropriate ways) and still have lunch with one of them every month, his wife is okay with it. I admire couples that have that kind of trust because I have seen plenty of married people fool around at the office and the spouse at home had no idea. But I know for a fact that men and women can be platonic friends.Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968216.post-61414166427842095092007-05-23T18:18:00.000-07:002007-05-23T18:18:00.000-07:00I don't work with anyone who's worthy enough to ev...I don't work with anyone who's worthy enough to even be an office husband. There are some guys I get along with, but there's no way I could be in an office relationship with them. They're way too needy.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you have such an awesome relationship with your office hubby though. It's always have someone to keep ya in line. Oh and more power to Karl for appreciating your relationship.Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929387083337422424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968216.post-29326022197693822322007-05-23T10:46:00.000-07:002007-05-23T10:46:00.000-07:00I've had several office husbands over the years.

Yes, I'm certain Ruben has one or two that keep him in line at work, and while I mostly worked in an office setting with other women who tend to be bitch, catty, and backstabbing, it did make it difficult for finding myself an office spouse. We had a lot of techs, but I don't know if I would call any my spouse persay, I had one Ruben would call my boyfriend. He was my go to man for the computer goods, he could get me a hack for a serial number or burn me a program I wanted. Still to this day I can ask him for anything just about and he somehow finds it. All I had to do was correct any errors on his paperwork so he didn't get in trouble with the boss man. He was a good friend to have around and I do miss that aspect of working, however, Ruben brought it to my attention the other night when we were discussing my upcoming boob-job (yes I am finally undergoing reconstruction this summer, I am also have the other one removed and replaced with an implant - I mean why stop at 1 implant, why not have 2?) Any who, I'm saying how I can't wait to wear v-necks again and out of no-where he makes this comment about yeah the guys at work really used to enjoy the view. I asked what he meant and he said he heard from several people back then that all the guys would like to swing by my office to take a look down my shirt. He refused to tell me who would say such a thing, but now that I think about it it does explain why we always had so many guys hanging out at my office when they were off the clock. Never realized I put on such a show. Guess that also how they managed to raise nearly $300 for me to buy me a gift card when they heard I had breast cancer - maybe they all started feeling guilty.<BR/>But I'm all for Ruben having someone at the office keeping him inline. I even told them to feel free to smack him around some if he acts up, even though he is their boss. Work spouses are good for a marriage, but I am missing out since I no longer work, so I have what I call my laptop spouse. I'm connected all day just about, sometimes just staring at the screen for hours doing nothing.....it's called BOREDOM but it sure beats stress.Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06919779611288975664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968216.post-19094784406249955272007-05-22T15:59:00.000-07:002007-05-22T15:59:00.000-07:00No, I work with too many guys.

Before I left, I had two at the same time. We all shared a workspace and it was nice - we were able to commiserate with each other about various ills in the organization. <BR/><BR/>When you work out of your house though, it's a lot harder. I think my cat Midge is my work spouse now. How sad is that?Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744575738815184510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968216.post-44304621572086087052007-05-21T16:25:00.000-07:002007-05-21T16:25:00.000-07:00I had an office spouse at my other job and it was ...I had an office spouse at my other job and it was wonderful. But I do not have one at the job I have now and I think I need one because I am stressing out. But all the guys I work with are sports guys and not interested in talking with agirl. Plus they are all younger than me so it is hard for me to find someone.<BR/><BR/>I loved the article because the people in it were from Natick and Newton...right near where I grew up. In fact I know the compnay they talked about.Cupcake Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.com
