General Disclaimer
I cannot stand questions like “How are you?” and “What’s up?” Please do not approach me with them. If you have no concrete topic to talk about, starting with a generic conversation-starter won’t score you points. Especially since you’re usually not interested in the real answer—namely, in hearing me rant about my recent problems, or on the contrary, singing praises detailing all the good happenings. You just expect to hear a stock non-answer. Hint: you won’t.
So, please, don’t do that.
Especially when I’m at work.
Because inviting me to type a two-paragraph-long summary of the events in my life for the past few days when my brain is full of Java code and Eclipse RCP documentation is beyond rude.
