Some days I feel like a nut, some days I don’t. I know it’s “Sometimes I feel like a nut, etcetera, but I sometimes choose to use what I want and don’t really care what the exact phrase is. Lately I don’t feel like a nut at anytime even though I may act like one to other people and may perhaps say silly things that they can laugh at because it kind of relieves tension. I apologise that I make people uncomfortable at times.

People really don’t know what to say to other people that are going through a crisis and actually there is nothing you can really say to alleviate someone else’s pain except to be supportive and be there for them in their darkest hours and I really appreciate everyone that has been there for me in mine. “I am now saying a prayer for all of us.” We as humans have a hard time understanding unless we have experienced something similar.

I have never been really good at chit chat unless I was working with the public and then it’s easy because it’s like you are putting on a show and your tips depend on it if you work in the restaurant business or the beauty business you need to listen and just insert a word here and there to let people know you understand. We as humans are always just looking for someone to listen, but so few do because everyone has problems.

Actually Bartenders should be paid a fortune. I can’t tell you how many times I have just listened to someones problems pretty much like a psychiatrist. They ask for advice on what they should do in many different circumstances, but usually they know and just want confirmation. I don’t advocate alcohol as a substitute even though many of us use it, we are only human and look for answers any where we can find them.

LOL…I can relate to that. I don’t do the chit chat very well myself. But I used to work as a nurse and when on duty, it was easy for me to do. I don’t know why.

Like bartenders, nurses are sorely underpaid. If you’re in a social situation and they ask “what do you do?” and you reply “I’m a nurse” all of a sudden they are telling you about all their medical problems and wanting advice, they will even have no shame in asking sexual advice.

Oye. ;-)

Hi Lala,
Lol I do understand about nurses, my DIL and Bill’s daughter are both nurses and I have many friends that are or were nurses so I relate.

My DIL works for an agency for traveling nurses and she makes around 50 dollars an hour or did before my son got ill and she had the baby, but she will have to return to it soon.

Maybe that’s why I feel like I don’t fit in at work. Well, I’m old enough to be a lot of my co-workers’ mother and they chat about this and that and going out to party etc. I’m like OMG, I can’t wait to go home and soak my feet in epsom!

I actually have almost dozed off when I was suppose to be engaged in chit chat. LOL When I worked in a Ritz Carlton hotel in FL though, I was ‘on’ as soon as I got to the lobby floor. We play many parts, do we not?

I don’t do chit chat well and don’t know what to say to people who are grieving… even though I’ve been there myself. So I just try be there. It’s pitifully little, but it’s about all I’ve got.

I don’t have the gift of chit chat, but my DH does.

I try and try but it doesn’t usually come naturally for me.

I’m envious of folks who can talk to anyone about anything.
