i have this thing...
at work: when someone says "hi, how are you?" i say "I'm good" or "Hi, I'm fine". Then comes the usual slpit second eye contact and awkward pause that i couldn't help but get dismissive. Now, I know I'm supposed to say "I'm fine, how are you?" but i often find myself asking them to get to the point (I'm good. Yes, may I help you?)I dunno. I'm usually not up for small talk in the office because i'm forever in the middle of something. this happens quite often when someone interrupts me with a phonecall. Or maybe I'm just feeling ugly that day and I don't want people leering in front of my desk appreciating my appearance. it's a discreet way of saying, "get off my back." hay...
you knw what? I think dubai is starting to suck politeness out of my system... oh no! I gotta get outta here! lolz
guys, you have no idea how busy I am these days. I only have less than 8 hours to do my pile of work each day and my pseudo-boss tosses me more way before i even get to bottom. i'm drownin' - halp!!!! huhu
anyhoo...there's this new guy in the office. he's irish and he's got this way of saying his sentences like they end with a question mark. it's like that girl in american pie talking (one day?... at summer camp?...)but she's tall, burly, and got a hairy chest. haha! Kiddin'. But my ghad it's so contageous. i often catch myself doing it. it's the Batangeño accent of english, let's put it that way.
but hey, he's a nice guy. nicest guy in the office - next to our boss of course. let's see how far he goes when people start showing their ugly side. good luck to you, my friend. good luck.
