I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Evenin' all. grin Finished painting and sealing my EG Celestia, and now I'm considering doing a Derpy one, Just because I don't hate myself enough, apparently.

On the subject of talking: I don't like talking to people, so naturally my job requires I approach people a talk to them. :I On the plus side, I think it's helped me become better at speaking with strangers. Still not a particularly talkative one, though.

I loved it when I was in high school, people would be really shocked when they heard me swearing because I was The Quiet One

As a cashier, I was totally okay with small talk and I don't mind it when talking to a cashier as a customer. I do have a bit of an aversion to getting stopped and talked to at work now when I'm not at my desk (where I expect to sometimes have someone come and say they need me) or in the break room (when I'm trying to actually be social). The two most irritating places are probably the hallway (because I'm usually thinking and aside from that, stopping and talking the hall tends to block people off and I hate getting in other peoples' way) and the washroom (need I say more?).

Hi Gwen!

Yeah, I had to do a lot of talking at my last job. And probably at my next one, where (if I get the job at the DOR) I'll be doing the calling rather than taking calls again.

Also, can't wait to see the Celestia doll. I bet it looks great.

[up] Oh wow, that's awkward. Who even does that?

Well, generally anytime a customer stops me to talk to me other then when I'm at register, it's just asking where something is/ do we have something specif/ or needing help getting some furniture.

@Mike: Well, here's what she looks like, hair down and next to her (frankly vacant eyed) store bought counterpart.

I find it most awkward when we have customers tell us their life stories. Although some are really touching, some just veer into Too Much Information territory. I feel awkward knowing so much about a person I've just met.

@Ike: People do that all the time. In school it seemed like there were more people talking than walking in the hallways.

Gwen- trust me, I know what you mean. I had one customer talk to me about periods and then fall asleep. It was awkward as hell.

[up] and I was referring to the bathroom part.

I can sympathize. I recently had to get a car towed, and the guy driving the wrecker went and shared the story of his messy divorce within minutes of my meeting him. I just nodded awkwardly.

I had another lady call at 4:50 (we close at 5, for the record) and talked for a good half hour about all the problems she's having. Only about 5 minutes were related to health care. Which is what I'm actually supposed to help with. And she sounded so sad the whole time.

I hate when people ask me that at work. I pretty much just shrug and go "Meh."

I hate when people ask how are you, because I can never figure out whether to acutally tell them or just say fine.

I think the answer to that one depends on how well you know them. If it's a friend or family member, actually telling them how you're doing is fine. If you don't know them well (or don't know them at all) it's better to just be polite and say "I'm okay, and you?"

Man, I'm so bad at the casual hall greeting. Lots of the time I'm spacing out, so by the time I register that someone has spoken to me they're already past me and I have to sort of awkwardly answer back at them.

The other thing is that it just seems to so artificial. If you're both going to say you're fine no matter what, what's the point of even asking?

It's just kind of something people do. There isn't really a "point" to it, per se.

Ah, awkward strangers. I get a few at the planetarium from time to time. Some like to talk to us after the show. While amusing, we do have cleanup work to do.

I guess it's just become a common courtesy thing. I usually just say "fine", because, like I said, don't want to get into TMI territory.

You say "sorry about that" or ask what happened (if you actually care).

I'm a very empathetic guy, so I'll usually listen to someone's story despite myself. I've heard so many tear jerkers over the years it's not even possible to count them all. A good 500 at least. You gotta share, you gotta care. It's the right thing to do.

The other thing that's awkward is when your troubles are probably not that significant and the other person might be worse.

Agreed. I'm willing to listen and I'll do what I can to help. It's a lot worse if there's nothing I can do.
