- I fell in love with a coworker — through coffee breaks and shared deadlines.
- When our relationship ended, I had to continue working in close proximity to my ex.
- The break-up was the push I needed to quit my job and become a successful freelancer.
Two weeks after a painful breakup, being assigned a new project offered a much-needed boost. I returned to the newsroom tired and weary but ready to dive into work.
