how was you x-mas jester_tcb December 30 2008, 22:10:34 UTC

i care when i ask, and if I don't care won't ask....but that aside, how was your x-mas?

LOL. My weirdness is that if I ask, I may not have wanted to know when I asked but if you tell me... I will want to know and care that you took the time to tell me.

I guess I can understand that...I think my problem with "How was your Christmas" is that it seems that everybody asks this question to everyone they pass (or are for whatever reason cornered with) at work, and at what point do these people actually begin to care about what the response will be? Imagine their response if I'd told them...."Oh my GOD I had the WORST Christmas...my entire family died, I was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor, and the only present I received was a packet of Pop Rocks."

It's just a silly question to be asked by office personnel with whom you barely speak a word to otherwise.

I guess the bottom line to my message is be real. Otherwise, don't waste your breath or my time with conversation that neither one of us cares about.

No-- I understand what you're saying too. I just meant... I hope that if any of my coworkers had a day or weekend or Christmas break like that... that they'd let me know about it. I can't do much more than listen but hopefully that's something. Even if 364 days out of 365 I am just asking for the sake of asking.

But at the same time, I hope I'm not being superficial just because I care less about how it went in reality when I ask except for the times there was something specific to share.
