bah

sometimes i'm tormented by the banality of evil in the workplace.

this evil i speak of is the autopilot people go on when conversing with each other. no one cares what your answer will be. their attention had already wandered as soon as they breathed the last word. their duty to ask the stupid question has been fulfilled and the answer is inconsequential.

holidays are especially painful for me. so, i'd already prepared in my mind to be pleasant with my answers and emphasize back to the person asking me the question.

but.
really.

why must people ask every freaking person they see at work: how was your christmas?
my answer was fast and exact: great, how was YOUR christmas?

i hate all the robotic things that people say to each other in the workplace. these things include:
[asked on friday] got any plans for the weekend?
[asked on monday] did you do anything on the weekend?

often i want to run screaming from the building with my hands waving high above my head.
