"Hey! Howz ya life? " with a warm smile, enhanced from the cinnamon tea.
"Great! it is !" With a zesty chuckle to match the Orange ‘zestea’
"Tell me more!" Lying somewhere between childlike curiosity and unchildlike jealousy.
"Well! I have everything I need to be happy.
The essentials like food and shelter,
A loving family, Time to keep myself fit and have fun.
I play with kids, soak in Netflix or News
I work relentlessly or take a break
That's an awesome lot for me! “ in one long breath , as if it was rehearsed but sounding utterly spontaneous.
“That’s about me, Your turn now : How's Work?" Pulling oneself from the sweetness of life and politely interested in the other.
"Just fine......., ya......." a tad boringly.
"You don't seem fired up... Why so?" Queerly
"I have some work ,but not too much.
I have timelines , but not enough pushed.
I have peaks, but much comfort.
It's interesting, but not kick ass exciting.." drearily... insipidly.....uninterestingly
Hopefully “Hmm I hear that.....
What would make you feeling Great?"
Aspiringly ".... like managing a significant budget and team responsibility, a leadership position, why not add a promotion on top?"
"Sounds Elevating, and.....What will that give you in addition?", constructively.
Dreamily, “Hmm let's see - Excitement each work day, being on the run, a feeling of critical contribution, some fame, may be more money!"
"That sounds quite attractive, Are all of those outcomes assured?" Innocently.
"You see, these are possibilities but no one can be certain." With certainty
"What do you say are the odds?"
"One to one .. equal at the least."
"Whoow.. Wouldn't you want great work like that? "
Firmly "If I am at 'great work' my friend, I doubt with considerable seriousness if one can retain your 'great life'!"
"Hang on..That sounds like a threat. Are they strictly exclusive?" Meekly
"Won’t say that! There are possibilities of an overlap, I won’t bet on the extent though," tad doubtfully
"Spell your odds!”
"At least half and half” with a crooked smile.
"Have you been at great work before?"curiously
"Yes,, Been there..." Surrounded with Pride and bordered with arrogance.
"How did the odds work?"
"Now, you are getting too personal." Hot potato.. Ouch!
Apologetically,
"Sorry, I will stay out of that. With such odds would you give great work a chance?"
Indifferently, “Not Sure”
