Conversations with unfamilar people in an office environment vary depending on the day of the week. They are as follows:
Monday:
1) How’s it going?
2) It’s ok, tough to come back on Monday.
1) Yeah, I feel that.
Tuesday:
1) How’s it going?
2) Hangin’ in there, just trying to get through the week.
1) Yeah, I feel that.
Wednesday:
1) How’s it going?
2) Hangin’ in there, halfway through the week now, so that’s good. **
1) Yeah, I feel that.
Thursday:
1) How’s it going?
2) Doin’ ok. Tomorrow’s Friday, so that’s good.
3) Yeah, I feel that.
Friday:
1) How’s it going?
2) Pretty good, glad it’s Friday.
1) Yeah, I feel that.
This is simply an outline, each phrase individually can be altered slightly, but the 3-line, short template must be followed.
** The phrase “hump-day” can sometimes be included by 2, to be determined by the level of exuberance between 1 and 2. Because exuberance between 1 and 2 in an office environment is not possible, the phrase “hump-day” can never be used.
