• MLA Format for Office Conversation

    Posted on October 19th, 2005 John No comments

    Conversations with unfamilar people in an office environment vary depending on the day of the week. They are as follows:

    Monday:
    1) How’s it going?
    2) It’s ok, tough to come back on Monday.
    1) Yeah, I feel that.

    Tuesday:
    1) How’s it going?
    2) Hangin’ in there, just trying to get through the week.
    1) Yeah, I feel that.

    Wednesday:
    1) How’s it going?
    2) Hangin’ in there, halfway through the week now, so that’s good. **
    1) Yeah, I feel that.

    Thursday:
    1) How’s it going?
    2) Doin’ ok. Tomorrow’s Friday, so that’s good.
    3) Yeah, I feel that.

    Friday:
    1) How’s it going?
    2) Pretty good, glad it’s Friday.
    1) Yeah, I feel that.

    This is simply an outline, each phrase individually can be altered slightly, but the 3-line, short template must be followed.

    ** The phrase “hump-day” can sometimes be included by 2, to be determined by the level of exuberance between 1 and 2. Because exuberance between 1 and 2 in an office environment is not possible, the phrase “hump-day” can never be used.
