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.
