Happenings…

The other day at work, I was put on a register that was away from the other two people working. When I get put down there, I don’t really have anyone to talk to so I tend to think a lot. Well…that particular day my mom had called me about thirty minutes before I went into work and told me something that completely broke my heart so I went to work not even wanting to be there in the first place. And one of the things that I contemplated that night was something that I’m sure other people have wondered about because it is just something that is ingrained into us throughout our lives.  This is the question of “how are you.” When people ask this question do you think they really want to know how you’re actually doing or are you supposed to just pretend like everything is great when your world could be crashing around you? I would be curious to see how people would react if everyone were to tell how they really were instead of the generated response of
“fine thanks” or “I’m doing well.” I’m thinking that I might try this one day. Just be completely truthful about how I’m doing and see their response. I think that it would catch most people off-guard or make them feel quite uncomfortable. I would find it quite humorous to see people squirm because you’re actually answering the question that they asked.  If anyone wants to try this let me know how it goes.
