MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month agoWorked with a dude who would always ask ‘Did you have a productive weekend?’
I had soooo many smart arse replies ready but never used them.
In hindsight I should have let it fly.

Urrrrgh. I think I can handle it when it’s on teams via text but in person it’s hard to give a non committal answer sometimes because that person is then around and you need to interact with them further and they might bring up their productive weekend yet again.
I just had a couple of colleagues very performatively go on a quick run before lunch because that’s now their Thing and they want to get people into it after having announced their running activities this weekend. Like they’re perfectly lovely folks and this place is generally great but I simply do not have the energy to pretend to be interested in any of these today. I had the shortest lunch ever and will be skedaddling as soon as I hit 7.5 hrs before I really do turn into the Grinch.

We all have those days. Good on you for recognising when you feel like that.
