Today, while at work, my ex-boyfriend came in. I pretended not to see him, hoping he would just pass on by. No such luck. He stopped to tell me that he was there for orientation. My company hired him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my manager mentioned that she'd hired a "cute boy" to help me out at work with paperwork. The "cute boy" was my ex-fiancé and now I have to be with him in an office for 30 some hours a week while his current fiancée brings him lunch everyday. FML
Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML
Today, I was at work when my ex and his girlfriend came in. She went on to claim that I was excited when I saw him… but I was actually happy because my shift was ending in 5 minutes. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to visit me at work. With another girl. FML
Today, I found out my boss hired literally the only person in this town who is an ex-boyfriend. I also work with my current boyfriend. FML
Today, I was working my shift and my ex girlfriend came in to apply for a job. She broke up with me for another guy so i can't stand being in the same room as her. The manager talked to her and decided to hire her on the spot. I need to train her. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's work to surprise him. When I got there, I called him on his phone to tell him to turn around. I saw him look at his phone. His co-worker next to him asked who that was. He replied, "Just this fat chick I know." FML
Today, I found out my ex-boyfriend, who I thought was finally out of my life for good, is now dating my new manager. FML
Today, I met my ex's new boyfriend. I was at work, cashiering at the movie theater that they were apparently having their first date at. We broke up less than 24 hours ago. FML
Today, I went into the store where my boyfriend works. I saw him talking to a customer, his back was facing me, so I went up and smacked his butt. Turns out it wasn't him. FML

It sounds like since he stopped to talk to you, you're at least on fairly good terms. Maybe you could at least become decent friends again someday

Hopefully he won't become your boss.

Become the manager so you can have him work for you. Then you can fire him if he doesn't submit to your demands.

Heaven forbid that you become mature enough to work with your ex. It didn't work out, suck it up and move on. Ex-partners are only enemies if you make them into one.

I worked with my ex for 4 years and no matter how civil, it was still sort of miserable. It sounds like you're still hurt by the past. No matter how mature and civil you are around them, it's still difficult. Especially if it was a recent break up.

On the bright side, you'll have lots of opportunities to practice your professional demeanor.

My ex and I had to continue living and working together after we broke up. It sucked but it's called being an adult and acting professional. We actually did it so well that over two years later when I was moving away costumers were asking if he was moving with me. Best part is, despite the fact that we broke up because of some bad stuff, because of that we were able to stay friends. To this day we still play video games together online. That probably wouldn't have happened if we hadn't have had work to force us to act nice to each other. This may help you two get along better.

Now you have someone to sexually harass. That always makes work more interesting. ;)
