Here’s your chance to confess your hots for that super-sexy co-worker you’ve been secretly been ogling. Is there anyone in your office who gets you all hot and bothered? Someone who makes your knees tremble and gets the blood flowing to all the right places? Who makes you think terribly indecent thoughts until you squirm in your seat? Do Tell… 🙂 ---

Ha!! Yes, there is 🙂 Not much of a secret that I’ve been ogling him. It’s kind of a mutual ogling situation. I’ve never had someone affect me physically the way he does. He makes me look forward to going to work! ---

Not really, no. But last Friday we had an “all-hands” meeting in my new job. A guy with fashionable glasses and a black turtleneck came in (every other guy was either in a suit or in some horrible knits) and I thought “how didn’t I notice the fashion model before? Looks French, wonder if he is.” I hadn’t noticed Mr. Good-Looking-And-Well-Dressed before 'cos it was his first day. And yes, he’s French. ---

I’m a software developer. I haven’t seen a hot woman in my profession since … well never. 🙂 ---

I work at a university, so my “office” has about 15,000 women between the ages of 18 and 22, so yeah…there are a LOT of people here who get me hot and bothered. ---

I’m just starting week #3 at my current job and no one here has caught my eye yet, but when I left my last job there were four (!) co-workers I’d have gone home with in a heartbeat. I still see three of them whenever I play poker, and I saw one of them at happy hour on Friday, but I recently started dating someone special and now all of my tingly netherparts are reserved for him. 😃 [QUOTE=Khadaji] I’m a software developer. I haven’t seen a hot woman in my profession since … well never. 🙂 [/QUOTE] The OP isn’t about your _profession_, it’s about your _office_. Haven’t you ever worked with a cute technical writer? 😉 Why yes, yes I _am_ a technical writer. Why do you ask? ---

There isn’t anyone who quite causes the reaction in the OP! But I have to admit the new guy is pretty cute. He looks a LOT younger than he is, he’s in his mid-40’s but everyone has thought he’s early 30’s. But he has WAY too many kids for my taste. I’ve lost count. And grand-kids, too. ---

Actually, the cutest, flirtiest girl in our office has just left in the past few days. ☹ Don’t think she quite gave me all the reactions mentioned in the OP, but it was always a Monday pick-me-up to pass her in the corridor and exchange hellos. Oh well. (Her department was transferred out from corporate to the field offices, and she was on of those who decided to go looking for new employment rather than make the move.) ---

[QUOTE=Emilio Lizardo] I work at a university, so my “office” has about 15,000 women between the ages of 18 and 22 [/QUOTE] Same with the university where I work. It does nothing for me. Mind you, there’s always the cute gothboi from student funding…but he’s so skinny, I’d break him too easily. ---

Here at HQ, we’ve got 8,000 people in the building. There are quite a few ladies with looks fit to cause grown men to walk through plate glass windows due to the distraction factor. ---

I currently have a raging crush on my coworker the likes of which I havren’t had since I was about 13 or 14. It’s actually kind of _amazing_ in its intensity. ---

[/QUOTE] Every Spring, I sing the following to the theme of a Bugs Buny/Loony Tunes “On with the show, this is it” coda: Halter tops, sleeveless shirts Belly rings, mini skirts Off with the clothes, it is Spring! That said, being a male in his 40’s, I attempt to respect the fathers who may be paying the bill for their daughter’s college. However, there is one lass who essentially waltzes into my office with less than 50% of her body covered by clothing, sits, bends over to take soemthing out of her backpack whilst squeezing her boobs between her elbows, and then looks up at me to see if I am checking her out (which I am careful not to do, or at least get caught doing), and she always bounces/percolates out of the office tigger-like, on tip-toes (careful to accentuate her leg muscles) and stops at the last minute to look back over her shoulder as if to say “you are checking me out, I know it, and I like it.” Hot, bothered, and happy she will graduate this Spring… ---

I work in a restaurant, and there are a LOT of cute servers there. But one of them is just gorgeous. Man, oh man, if she could only be mine! She has some of the sexiest eyes I have ever seen. ---

I wouldn’t say I’m directly attracted to anyone, but as a geek-lover working in technical support, I enjoy the fact that I’m surrounded by techie men. Give me a guy who knows how to solder. There were a few I pined over at the last place, though. ---

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I work with a pair of super hot 23-year-old identical twins. The hottest one sits opposite me, and the less-hot-but-still-hot-nonetheless one sits behind me, and to cap it all is a terrible flirt. Just thought I’d mention it again. And again. And sigh a bit. And curse God and stuff. ---

Also, to answer the question, we’re getting a second infusion of interns bouncing in the day after Christmas. I’ve seen a few promising ones saunter through on office visits. Updates pending. ---

Not in my department unless you’re into the 50-ish, sweatpants wearing gramma crowd. But I work in a public school district and am constantly at schools, and I tell ya, NO teacher looked like some of the ones the universities are spitting out these days.
