    I have the dumbest office job. I go in, walk upstairs to my office, sit in my room alone all day, leave and go home. I only ever see anyone when I need to go to the kitchen, or when I go to make a copy.

    and yet it’s imperative that I go in. My boss doesn’t even work in my building. So most of the time I don’t even go in, and I never tell him. Barely even talk to him unless it’s an emergency.

    I like that i don’t have to deal with anyone, but it’s so dumb that they really want people in the space…

      so moral of the story, I don’t have the experience of this video at all, except when I ask the building secretary what she’s eating for lunch.

        The other woman who works downstairs and I have the same conversation

        “good morning PPF, how are you?”

        “good morning J—, im doin alright, how are you?”

        and then she doesn’t even respond so I just walk away.

            it’s funny because I work in the English as a Second or Other Language field and we always have to be like ‘often times, “what’s up” or “how are you” aren’t actual questions you need to answer’
