what about the Weather? That one can last hours. And I am quite happy with that.


Haha. I forgot about that one.

I'm in graduate school studying atmospheric science. Weather is the only "chit chat" topic I can manage to talk about. Only I can go on too long. How ironic it is.

The other problem is I'm too much of a weather expert for people. After a while misconceptions about global warming and other weather related topics always come up. I hate having to correct people and feel like I'm being a snob. If global warming comes up I think I should just end the conversation by mentioning “quasi-geostrophic theory”. :lol:

Why does what a coworker thinks about a celebrity 'matter'?


It doesn't. But it can help you get an idea if someone is a similar type of personality to you, or whether you might get on.

How does it do this?


If someone started going on about how they loved Paris Hilton and what a great role model she is I would make a judgement on the person saying it ..... eg you are an empty-headed twit and I don't think we'll ever be great friends.
