I worked in a great paying (although boring and dead end...) gov. job. I was the only female in a shift work rotation. One of the guys was such a 'downer' every time I would interact with him, it was so depressing! He was one of those glass half empty people... I got the bright idea to start making a joke out of his negativity, and we would play pranks on each other.

Fast forward... he's like 8 years older than me, married ( I am too) but decides he's 'in love with me' . I ended up quitting the job, because even after sitting him down and telling him I did not feel any attraction, he would act like a 7th grader, and it was totally embarrassing!!

AVOID the toxics!! You can't help them, because they don't want to change!!
