What do you say when you meet a co-worker in the office? What's a good simple easy greeting?
-
Here's what's funny, it's often a question but we don't necessarily want an answer. For example,
-
"Hey, what's up?" We don't actually mean tell me everything you got going on,
-
the answer to that is "Not much." Another greeting, "Hey, how's it going?"
-
Again, we're not asking you to really tell us how things are going for you. The answer to that is
-
"Good." Or you could say "Hey what's going on?" Again, we don't need to know what you
-
really have going on. It's just a greeting and to that you could say "Not much."
-
Now my dad, when he would go on runs around the town and he would pass somebody else running,
-
he would always say "How are you doing?" "How you doin'?" short for "How are you doing?"
-
How are you doing? That's another good greeting. Again the answer is just
-
"Fine." If it's before noon, my favorite greeting is
-
"Morning!" I use this as I walk around the neighborhood in the morning and see neighbors.
