Yes I do, no it doesn't. We don't work together directly, but we work in the same office (total of maybe 25 people in the office).

It's fine, but my office is by the kitchen so every time she goes to the kitchen she stops by my office... for no reason.

He and I work exceptionally well together. We've shared several projects, both at his work and mine, and we're really effective and have more fun working. I've pulled him in on things where I knew we absolutely needed somebody who could get the job done and would stick it out to the end. He pulls me in when they're at crunch time and he needs a set of eyes that reads like his do. Never any problems.

I help my husband with harvest twice a year, and it does cause problems. He gets busy with what he's doing, and doesn't give a thought to what anyone else is doing, until he notices that something isn't the way he wanted it. Then he gets cranky, which makes me mad that he didn't tell me what he wanted before it became such a crisis.

This is why I have a desk job. :D

Yes and no. We work together and we hardly ever see during the day... sometimes go to lunch together.

No, I worked with my girlfriend for several years and we had a great time. It depends on your relationship completely.

I worked with my SO for about a year before my current job. No problems, it was fun and productive. :beer:

I worked in the same building as my wife for a brief stint, and while she really liked the carpooling thing, I discovered how much I appreciated the "me" time I had in my car every day.

My wife and I probably couldn't work together. I love her dearly, but I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my work and she's... well... not.
