Middle-Aged Wank Fodder

In almost every place I ever worked at, there has been a least one couple working there too. Frankly, I find the whole thing a little bit odd.

In the vast majority of cases, they work in different departments and often do completely different jobs, so it isn’t like they interact with each other much in a work fashion. They come in work at the same, have lunch together, and leave together, but that’s about it.

There are situations where they DO work closely together though, and I wonder how they cope.

On one occasion I worked alongside a married couple who shared one job, so it was very rare they’d both be in on the same day. What I found odd about that was that you ended up treating them as one person, they shared work and finished off things the other one had been working on a such like. Assuming that both members of the couple like doing the same thing, I see this as an acceptable solution.

But how does this situation start in the first place? They must have met working there, as the idea of them finding a job together is just too freaky for words. Has this ever happened?

I’d ask someone, but they might think I’m being rude. Or nosey. Or worringly interested in every aspect of their private life.

I don’t want that.
