Office Romance/Affairs 4/4 2007 (Wednesday)
An office romance and affairs are a romance that occurs between two people who work together in the same office, work location, or business. The relationship between romance/affair partners at work can be as wide as intern and President, boss and secretary, superior and subordinate, or between two people who are representative and client, peers or colleagues, etc. Tonight, let's review some questions that are related to the subject of office romance/affairs.
Session 1 Questions:
1. A lot of companies believe that office romance is unhelpful to the welfare and effectiveness of the business. (Is it really unprofessional?) However, the employees who are romantically involved with a work associate may well disagree with such theory. Which side is justifiable? If your are the employee and your boss is reasonable and willing to accept your justification, how do you convince him that office romance and office work effectiveness are irrelevant? On the other hand, if you were the boss, would you keep your employees from being involved in office romance?
2. A lot of people meet their potential spouse at their work place. Say, you are of them, but you are discouraged or even prohibited by your company policy before your romance develops. What's your plan? That is, how do you handle your office romance? Will you keep it as a secret or simply quit your job?
3. (Optional) Please give a true example of office romance that you've heard around.
Intermission
Session 2 Questions:
4. Some people never want to find their boy friend or girl friend from his/her office. What are their reasons? If you do not have a boy friend or girl friend, will you accept someone from your office to be your boy friend or girl friend?
5. What do you see other people who are developing office romance or office affairs? Will you give advice to them if you are a close friend of theirs? By the way, what are the excuses, cover-ups, or lies that are most often heard from those who have office affairs?
6. (Optional) Why do fools always fall in love with someone who happens to be their married colleague?

「老闆來電話」的婚外情故事
有一首好聽的男女對唱的抒情鄉村歌曲中。描述一位婚外情的女主角打電話到男主角家裡約他出來。男主角接到電話時，怕太太在旁邊聽到他說話(又不敢小聲說話以免太太啟疑竇)，就煞有介事地假裝是在回答上司打來要求加班的事。女主角在一端一方面急於約會另一方面訴說衷情， 男主角在另一端答話的前半段都是必恭必敬的口氣，後半段聽起來似乎在回應老闆，實則在回答女主角的問題與疑慮。非常有趣的故事。1965年的鄉村音樂冠軍歌曲。
Yes, Mr. Peters -- Roy Drusky and Priscilla Mitchell
(Telephone rings.)
【Man】Hello?
【Woman】(Hello, dear, will the same place be alright?)
【Man】Yes indeed, Mr. Peters, I can work late tonight.
【Woman】(Is she near? Can she hear what you say?)
【Man】You're right, Mr. Peters, and I'm leaving right away.
【Woman】 (Are you sure she's not listening on the other line?)
【Man】No, of course not, Mr. Peters, you can call me anytime.
【Woman】 (What if she knows just where you go each time you get my call?)
【Man】Don't worry, Mr. Peters, ‘cause my wife don't mind at all.
【Woman】 (Please hurry up, dear, ‘cause I'm so in love with you.)
【Man】I know exactly how you feel ‘cause I feel the same way too.
【Woman】 (Tell me dear, how much longer must we live this life?)
【Man】I don't know, Mr. Peters, but I should be there by nine.
【Woman】 (Well, don't be late. I can't wait to be with you once more.)
【Man】Don't worry, Mr. Peters, I'm just heading for the door.
【Man】Well, yes Mr. Peters, I'm just heading for the door.

Before every Yoyo decided to spill his or her guts concerning their first-hand experience in the ever so delicate world of office romance... perhaps it is best for us to go over a few facts...
1. Ugly co-workers are the only effective deterrent against office romance
2. Everybody including the boss's wife is a fair game.
3. Office romance is a two edge sword that cuts both ways.
4. Office romance may be the hidden path to a fast promotion.
5. Who needs 壹週刊 when a well anticipated office romance goes haywired.
6. When strictly enforced the "no office romance policy" makes any office feels like a monastery by day, but a sin city by night.
7. The Boss and sometimes the boss's wife gets to sleep with whom ever they want.
8. Seduce now and deal with the consequences later.
9. Being polite and flirting are the two sides of the same coin.
10. The potential for Office romance certainly makes the day worth waking up for.

It is easy to mistaken the modernity of the corporate office as some sort of moral sanctuary. All things considered, it is more of a jungle than anything else. What else do you expect where so many 衣冠禽獸 are doing their best to have their needs fullfilled?
Jethro Tull - Bungle In The Jungle
Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---
scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday ---
eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday.
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---
they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows.
Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.
I'm a tiger when I want love,
but I'm a snake if we disagree.
Just say a word and the boys will be right there:
with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air.
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder.
I'll write on your tombstone, ``I thank you for dinner.''
This game that we animals play is a winner.
Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.
I'm a tiger when I want love,
but I'm a snake if we disagree.
The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass.
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns ---
yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
to light up His Jungle
as play is resumed.
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.

後記
今天的第二階段，臨時加入一個遊戲。前次在網上貼的一首歌Yes,Mr. Peters是描述婚外情的女人打電話到男人家裡大膽邀他出來幽會。男人假裝接到了老闆的電話，必恭必敬地回應，彷彿老闆急著找人，小職員能體會老闆心情，馬上就要出發。其實，恨不得插翅飛到女人身邊的男人把Yes, Mr. Peters換成darling，才是他對女人真正想說的話。然而，男人的老婆若不知情，還以為真的老闆找老公有急事呢！我本來想請來賓寫出男人的老婆認為老闆是怎麼說的，結果各組的答案卻是老婆心裡的話。請看Wayne的版本及各組的版本：

【Man】Hello?
喂？
【Woman】(Hello, dear, will the same place be alright?)
(親愛的，老地方見，怎麼樣？)
【Man】Yes indeed, Mr. Peters, I can work late tonight. 是的，老闆，我今晚可以加班。
【Woman】(Is she near? Can she hear what you say?)

【Man】You're right, Mr. Peters, and I'm leaving right away.
是的，老闆，我馬上就動身。
【Woman】(Are you sure she's not listening on the other line?) (你確定你老婆她沒在分機聽我們講話嗎？)
【Man】No, of course not, Mr. Peters, you can call me anytime. 「沒有，當然沒有」，你什麼時候打電話給我都可以。
【Woman】(What if she knows just where you go each time you get my call?)
(假如她知道每次我打電話給你以後去了哪裡怎麼辦？)
【Man】Don't worry, Mr. Peters, ‘cause my wife don't mind at all.
老闆，別擔心，我太太一點兒也不會介意。

歡迎Kooper加入我們這個大家庭 !!! 
第一次見到Kooper
印象最深的是這男人很認真,很坦誠,很溫柔
怎說呢?
很認真--桌上的佳餚沒動多少,認真地參與討論.害Kate雖然吃了自己點的晚餐,但還是被他的晚餐吸引,仍有飢腸轆轆的感覺..
很坦誠--被好奇又不想失禮的Kate問到工作,非常大方地告知公司名稱.(但Kate更好奇的是,有沒有員購?)
很溫柔--討論辦公室戀情時,大家多半希望能藏則藏.他不禁露出很溫柔的表情說,若是喜歡上一個人,感情是很難藏的~
概略介紹,
欲知其人,
煩請週三出席!
