I never really know how to feel about dating at work. Part of me gets it because you spend so much time together and it just kind of happens. But then I think about how awkward it would be if things go south and you still have to see each other every day like nothing happened. That alone keeps me from ever crossing that line. Has anyone actually had this work out without it getting messy later on?

No and I doubt I'll ever try. There's just too many things that can go wrong. Not to mention that even if it does work out, I still think I'd hate having work in common with my partner. I talk about it too much as is and my girlfriend is in an entirely different industry. If we worked together, I feel like it's all we'd ever talk about.

As somebody who dated a coworker and it ended badly and we had to work together for years after, I highly suggest not doing it. I know it can work out, but the odds of success are low and the odds of it being awkward are high.

Big no no. End of story.

I met my husband at my previous job. There were multiple locations. I was transferred to the location he was at and we immediately hit it off and became friends. About a month after he was notified he'd be transferring to a new location. That day he asked me on a date and here we are over eight years later. I just recently was laid off from the company we both worked for. But all things considered I'd never say never you could be holding yourself back from someone really great.
But I do understand the "fear."

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!
