I should have said 'fine' and then added 'and how are you?'" I almost never ask people how they are. I'd like to think that when I do then people know it is in genuine interest.

If I don't know them terribly well, I'll say "I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do for you right now?", but if I know them well, I'll say "What's up?" and sit down and talk about whatever the problem is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023545572453789968.post-4537917162193702492007-08-31T05:42:00.000-05:002007-08-31T05:42:00.000-05:001.618,No, not a professional writer or journalist....1.618,<BR/>No, not a professional writer or journalist.
