other than the daily dilberts, which are a must... the dilbert blog is quickly becoming a daily for me, as well... just gotta luv pretty much anything from scott adams, y'know?

I'm often in my own little world. Usually no one can tell. One of the ways I give myself away is that I respond to what I assume people should be saying instead of what they actually say.

The FedEx guy just delivered a package. When I answered the door I expected him to say something along the lines of "How are you?" So our exchange went like this.

FedEx Guy: "Here."

Me: "Good, and you?"

He just walked away.

I also get myself into the "how are you" loop. It works like this.

Me: "How are you?"

Other person: "Good. How are you?"

Me: "Good. How are you?"

Other person: "Um…still good."

That's pretty much a signal that you weren't listening and don't care.

I also have a habit of closing a conversation with inappropriate trivial sayings. That works this way.

Other person: "My entire family just died and I have a terminal disease."

Me: "I'm so sorry. Well, I gotta run. Have a nice day!"
