How was your day yesterday?

I sold alot of artwork. It was one of my best sales days ever :) Came home had the best sex with my SO a few times, and pasted out in ecstasy.

After a nice steady day at work we called at the child minders on the way home to pick up the baby and it turned out he wasn’t a happy bunny. Got him home and on carrying him into the house he spewed all down my top, down my trousers and on the kitchen floor.
Straight after that he cheered up!
After putting him to bed the wife and I shared a couple of bottle of red and chilled!

So mostly relaxing thanks for asking!

F’ing Amazing!

Sorry to hear yours was not so good

Yesterday was uneventful, caught up on some stuff around the house, whitened my teeth and balanced the old checkbook…that was kinda scary, spent $635 in the last 9 days on misc. weirdness. lol

My day was fine. A little boring at times but nothing bothered me too much which is the most important thing.

Now you too? Freaking EVERYBODY wants to know how my day is going…

Before taking my order… Frickin Taco Bell wants to know “How you doing”?

A candy bar at the gas station can’t be sold until I answer “And how is your day today”?

AT&T customer service thinks they’re doing me a favor by asking “How’s your day going today”?
_________

LISTEN EVERYONE for the last FREAKING FLIPPING FLAPPING TIME…

I’m swell… But my day would go better if we all understood that disingenuous conversation is a bunch of crap. Now can I pah-lease place my order without giving you a rundown of how my day is going?

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies If you thought is was disingenuous, then you did not have to take the time to answer at all.
Enjoy your Taco. Have a freaking flipping flapping time!

My short shift day during the week so it was welcome.

Yesterday I taught and slept and hung out with my kids. It was an okay day.

Yesterday was a catch up day, but today…it’s Friday night Grey Goose Bloody Mary time soon!
Mmmmm, drinking my veggies tonight. Celery, marinated string beans and Tomato juice. Appetizer of champions. lol :-D

Crap.

I don’t think you get my gist @blueiiznh… You think I’m picking on this question in particular… I’m not. I’m simply pointing out that “How’s it going” has turned into the new “Hello”.

Does anyone really want to know how “I’m doing” or “how my day went” other than people closest to me? All in all, it’s actually somewhat of a rude question to be asked by a clerk to a customer… especially when you realize they don’t give a flying crap about how it goes with you or I… They’re just repeating some mandatory customer service line of BS that Smiling John in the human relations department learned at the last corporate policy seminar… right before he got drunk with his co-workers and cheated on his wife by screwing his secretary.

Have you noticed that You and I are the only ones on this thread that received any type of recognition for answering this question? And that’s only because we’re a bit off topic or you gave a nice quote…

And your quote addressed how the OP could help with their day… which was really the intention of this Q in the first place.

Gripes I left this question yesterday and went to the bank… only to be met with Mr. Happy Face at the door wanting to know “How’s it going”?

None of your freaking business you panzie… Would you like to say hello? Would you like to do your job and ask if you can help me? Must we endure muddling through words that mean absolutely nothing just so I can get on with my day?

I swear I’m getting a T-Shirt that says
“Don’t ask me how I’m doing… We both know you don’t give a damn”

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies

Well..would you prefer to be completely ignored or treated rudely instead?
There is nothing wrong with polite good manners.
Sure, sometimes it’s a bit gratuitious, but, somehow I think you’d be just as mad if you got the cold shoulder. Pick your poison. I’ll take faux salutations over rudeness any day of the week.

There is nothing rude about saying “hello… can I help you”… when that’s the purpose of the employee. And if they ignored me, they’d be fired for not doing their job.

OP: Sorry to hear about your bad day, hope the rest of the weekend is much better for you.

Mine was pretty good! Went to Lips (possibly NSFW) “the ultimate in drag dining” with a new friend. Had a pretty good cranberry salad and we were actually able to go on stage! They took the piss out of us but it was all in good fun, and we had our photo taken with the hostess after they gave us fake shots (being under 21 really does take the excitement out of things). The Cher queen was my favourite. Three outfit changes, all of them fabulous. There was a Barbara Streisand, Judy Garland, Tina Turner, Bette Midler, Reba, and Gladys Knight there as well. A bit disappointed that we didn’t see Dolly, Madonna, or Liza, but it was fantastic nevertheless.

Was okay. I don’t remmeber anything specific about it, so couldn’t have been that bad. Maybe it’s because I’m too drunk right now though haha.
But nah, it was fine. Normal, but fine.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Plenty of people received lurve for their answers to this Q. That would imply recognition.

Not before I’d made my comment. Not one had a GA until then… except for those pointed out.

Yesterday was restful and lazy. I didn’t clean, didn’t do any laundry, didn’t run errands, didn’t groom the dog, didn’t do much of anything but nap and watch Netflix. I felt really good.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies I can’t say whether or not that is true but I really don’t think the people that gave lurve here only did so because you had a little hissy fit!

You don’t need to say whether it’s true or not. I already did.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies So sorry you are bothered by someone asking you how your day was. I understand the point about it being in some script from a service center in some far off place to help start the call. In that case, I will tell them a true answer as well. But if someone you do know askes you, they just might be sincere. I know I for one will ask that question and I really mean it. If someone asks me, they will get the truth. It’s only normal interaction that when a question is asked that you answer it.
Hope you had another awesome day too!

Meh… it’s a personal pet peev of mine. I know it’s bothersome when I bring it up. What can i say? I can’t stand small talk… But you will note, that like you @blueiiznh, I did note the difference between strangers and “those closest to me”.

When someone asks it… a stranger… it’s either a script from management, or because they really want to talk about how it goes with themselves, or it’s just plain unimaginative uninspiring small talk.

OK so the last person that asked… I answered that my dog just died, my wife left me, my house was foreclosed, and I recently discovered that my Grandmother was a card carrying Nazi.

That’s OK… the reaction was the same if I just said “Great”. For it produced no further conversation beyond that point. There was no real interest. There were no further questions or comments… just like this thread. No discussion was sparked.

Notice in this thread… not one conversation has sparked aside from the one we’re having currently. If there was genuine interest, there would be replies something to the affect of:

Hey congrats to you @Pele. Your hard work has paid off. Don’t spend all that money in one place. What kind of artwork do you do?

That’s funny @Mat74UK… I’ve never heard the phrase “Child Minders” before. I call them baby sitters. I might have to use your label from now on. I wonder what your baby had to make him sick?

So what product works best for whitening the teeth @Coloma? You’ve inspired me to get caught up on my stuff too. What were you doing… just cleaning or tuck pointing the chimney?

So you day was “crap” huh @MilkyWay? I’d ask, but you obviously don’t want to talk about it any further.

Wow @martianspringtime… that Lips looks fun. We don’t have anything like that where I come from. Are you a regular?
p.s. kudos to you for commenting on and acknowledging the OP’s details

@Symbeline That’s a great way to gage the previous day… No bad memories must mean it went pretty well… or as you say… “fine”. You type pretty good for being drunk!

What a bum @Neizvestnaya… join the club. It’s what I aspire towards every day of my life. Did you bum out alone… or with that special bum buddy?

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Well, fine isn’t pretty well. Just normal. And you think I type good when I’m drunk? That’s because I have time to fix things up. Ask anyone on some chat engine how ’‘good’’ I type when I’m fucked…

Heh… they always kick me out of chat rooms. Fine fine… fine is just normal. I can understand that pretty well.

@Symbeline You type wonderfully well when you’re fucked sistah. ;)

silly

GOOD!!!!
