Perhaps I'm just getting too old and too bored to deal. Perhaps.
Peace out, bitches!

A person doesn't change just because you find out more.
Lately I've noticed that while at work I have been avoiding making eye contact with people who are attempting to make small talk with me. I believe that if I make eye contact with them they might think I actually want to talk to them, which I don't. I usually just don't have time for it all. On occasion I'll talk to people for a bit, when we're not in the middle of the shit and I like them. I don't think it's a character defect on my part as I'm generally considered a friendly person by the people I work with. Of course I have my days or moments just like anyone else but lately... I just get tired of bullshitting with people I don't like or wide eyed PAs with too many questions. What's the point? Let's just all get to work, knock this motherfucker out and hey, I'll buy you a beer for not talking my damn ear off. Sound fair?
think back to when you were just starting and how you were treated and then how you felt. i understand the urge to dismiss small talk, but it can be the only way for some people to start a real conversation. there is also the idea of making a workplace comfortable or at least, have the veneer of civility and mutual respect. xox

ReplyDeleteSmall talk at work never leads to a real conversation. Kill it before it grows.
ReplyDeletenot nice answer moose.
ReplyDeleteI think it's more that I'm focused on what I'm doing. When it gets shitty I just don't feel like dealing with anything other than the work. I keep it civil, I'm just not really there mentally when people are babbling. Yeah, there are guys I talk to but they're the same guys I've been working with for years.
