Today there was a meeting of all local-area school staff, and I was seated next to a guy whose name I didn't know. He's been an office worker in an elementary school for some ten months, and I've never heard him speak a word. I've been going to that school once a week all this time, and I'd never even met him.
"Nice watch," I said. "It's all sparkly."
He reacted with surprise, then awkwardly replied, "Ah... um... yes. Thanks."
Then he searched for something to say in kind. "Um... I saw you at the grocery store, didn't I?"
I laughed and nodded. Actually, that was six months ago, but who cares? We actually had a conversation.
ONE GOOD DEED: Strike up a conversation with a co-worker I'd never talked to before.
