Monday or Groundhog Day?
Did you have this conversation today in the elevator/break room/kitchen/at the water cooler?
Coworker 1: How was the weekend?
Coworker 2: Good. The weather is amazing.
Coworker 1: Isn’t it! Feels like fall.
Coworker 2:
a) 87% men reply with, “Yeah, football is in the air.”
b) 73% women reply with, “Yeah, what happened to our summer?! This means the cold is right around the corner.”
Coworker 1: So, do anything fun?
Coworker 2:
a) 33% reply with, “Just enjoyed the outdoors.”
b) 33% reply with, “Didn’t do anything. And loved every minute of it!”
c) 33% had a wedding or people in town.
Coworker 2: What about you?
Coworker 1: Repeat all previous steps.
Coworker 2: Well, here we go again. Monday.
Coworker 1: Yeah, gotta get my caffeine fix for sure!
Coworker 2: Is it Friday yet? Hahahaha.
Coworker 1: Hahaha
Coworker 2: Okay, have a good one.
Coworker 1: Yeah, see you around. Let me know if you’re going to Starbucks later?!
Coworker 2: Hahaha
Coworker 1: Ha
How many times did you have this conversation today? What’s funny to think about is that every person in your office is having this same conversation (sometimes with multiple people at multiple times) every Monday. So, everyone is talking about the exact same stuff at the exact same time.
C’mon, let’s throw some random curveballs in there this week, eh? Something no one would do like, “We had our annual weiner dog race on Saturday and watched the Olympics.”
