Re: Re: Sex Tips for Promiscious Pairs (was Practice: Pair Programming)

I think Kent's wording is careful and good, however, I don't like the 
advice as much.  I'd recommend someone talk to a friend outside of work 
first before talking to someone at work about it.  That way, at least 
they'd receive advice that isn't cloaked in "I feel I have to respond 
this way because I'm part of the organization and responsible to it."  I 
think advice like that is good but it often isn't the kind of human or 
personal advice that a person needs.  When you add in the escalating 
side-effects that can because of harrassment legal fears, I'd say 
talking to someone outside the organisation first is a clear win.

To draw a parallel, remember the main character (Peter)'s next door 
neighbor (Lawrence) in Office Space?  Peter says "What would you say if 
you someone said to you it looks like you have a case of the Mondays?"  
I think we all need someone disinterested to talk to at times.  It's 
nice when we can have those conversations at work, but I suspect there 
are many places where you can't have them constructively.
