Is there anything original that people can ask me on Monday mornings other than “what did you do this weekend?” It’s wearing thin on my nerves, especially since I go through these shenanigans every Friday and Monday without a break. On Friday afternoon I get the classic “So what ya’ doing this weekend?” And of course on Monday mornings (like clockwork) it’s the ever popular “so what DID you do this weekend?”. This wouldn’t bother me so much if the people asking me had anything else to say, but they never do!
My new answer is, please just shut up. Firstly, why do you care? Secondly, why ask me on Friday if you are just going to ask me again on Monday? Do you simply need a reason for me to ask what you did over the weekend or do you just have nothing better to ask? And by the way, why is the weekend any different than every other day of the week when it comes to “doing” something? I’m always doing something, so why is it so important all of the sudden to hear the details of my actions on any given weekend. If I already work with you every damn day, you probably know too much about me, so why is it necessary for you to know what I do on my days off?
Not to sound super negative, but I really, REALLY don’t care what anyone did over the weekend (unless it involves the revelation that it is pointless to keep asking about my weekend).
I’m about substance and constantly getting to know people, but sick of using this repetitious nonsense and fluff conversation to fill up space. Life is too short people. Ask me some real questions for f***s sake.
