Your colleague asked how your weekend went

Your colleague asked how your weekend went. It was fine, you said. And this wasnt the first time he asked that question.You tried to sound convincing, as you rather not reveal the real score. You were still living with your folks (and you havent saved enough for your own place). You were anxious about the upcoming week. (A bit.) And you didnt have any plans for the next weekend. You dont want to be looked at as incompetent, yet you dont want to be one of those people who dont have a life. You would hate it if your colleagues pitied you. Alas, your weekend could define you.If youve been working for years, even a year or two, then you would learn to value weekends. Youll even look forward to them. No need to be ashamed about it, as youre not the only one. Some will consider loafing as guilty pleasure, while others will binnensee it as a sign of reaching old age. But were veering off the subject. You imagined the other responses to the question, which would prompt your colleagues to app raise you. Unless youre active in social media, be prepared to be judged. Ignore the comments if you want. Look at the bright side, though. You can learn a few things. Here are some possible answersNothing special. You dont want to know. It can mean two things. Youre concealing something, and youre being defensive about it. You may even deny about it, but think again. What is there to hide? If you happen to live with your mother, then tell them about your petty arguments. (It will be a hint that youre looking for a place of your own.) It its the pressure at the workplace, then dont think too much about it. (Be an optimist.) If its an uneventful weekend, then theres nothing wrong about it. A long sleep might make you more than ready for the next working week.You met your friends. It will be good if you did arrange a meeting with your pals, but something might be wrong if youre asked for details. It may have turned out that you chatted with them, even commented on the photo(s) they po sted on Facebook. (And your colleagues werent online during the weekend.) You havent seen your friends for some time because youre a workaholic. You dont want to admit it to your colleagues, as it might give them a wrong impression of you. Nothing wrong if you tell the truth without sounding bitter (or defensive) about it. Its your life. Youll get along in the workplace.You watched a movie. Youre free of responsibility, which can be a good thing. (Youre young, so nothing to be guilty about it.) You have interests, which would pique your colleagues curiosity. (They will find you interesting, and you might be flattered.) You may have an addictive habit, which you dont want them to know. And you should.What if you had a holiday? Your colleagues will be green with envy, and you have photos (posted on Facebook and Instagram) to prove it. Nothing like being the center of attraction.
