Every morning I arrive at work.. pass people in the hall and the ritual begins..
"Morning, how are you?"
"Morning, good, and you?"
"Good"
"Thats Great"
Repeat numerous times..
No one really cares how I am, I don't really care how they are. But years of conditioning has left me where if I don't ask, don't respond, I'm a jerk..
Most of the time, most days, I'm a sociable animal. I have just recently grown annoyed with meaningless small talk that neither party gives a crap about... I wonder if I should just buy a T-shirt that says "I'm fine thanks" and just point to it as I walk down the hall..
