Magenta Whispers

 

“According to my research,deep magenta is often linked to the essence of autumn, evoking a sense of warmth and vibrancy as the season transitions. This striking color captures the beauty of falling leaves and the changing landscape, where nature showcases its most vivid tones. As the days grow shorter and the air becomes crisp, deep magenta emerges as a prominent shade, reminiscent of the stunning sunsets that grace the autumn sky.”

Dating Ethics

Dating co-workers in professional work settings is inappropriate. When employers hired me to provide a specific service from 1995-2018, I will always remain professional. I do not believe in dating my former co-workers of the opposite sex. I will remove myself from the setting first when I have noticed that I developed such attraction.
