Office Gripes

I can't stand "OfficeSpeak". Those annoying little comments that people feel compelled to make, week after week.

"How's it going"
"Not bad, for a Monday"

"How's it going?"
"Well, it's Wednesday - we're halfway there"
or
"Happy Humpday" (this one makes me want to murder people)

"It's Friday - I can't complain"

Maybe I should learn to stop asking how people are doing.

the old janitor guy at work, every day asks "Hows it goin buddy?" to which I usually reply "good, how are you?"
to which he ALWAYS replies "not bad for an old_______" fill in the blank with whatever day it is. ALWAYS.

So finally I decided to test him. He would ask how I was doing and I would just say "good" and not offer the question to him. But, he would still reply

Him: "Hows it goin buddy?"
Me:"good"
Him:"Oh not bad for an old______"
