I have a pet peeve that may or may not change the way people look at me around here (At the station, I mean.  Not planet Earth).
If I pass someone in the hall and I ask how are they doing...THIS answer makes me crazy:

"It's Monday."

Or sometime I get the response, "It's Tuesday."   Or, "It's Wednesday. We're almost there."
And of course, don't forget, "It's Friday!"  You get the idea.

Two reasons I have a problem with this...
Number one: I know what day it is. Most of the time, anyway.
Number two: News is a 24/7 business.  Not all of us are lucky enough to have a Monday - Friday schedule.  So, any day-of-the-week/mood-of-the-day correlation is moot.

There is nothing wrong with a simple, "I'm good.  And you?"   And a smile always puts everyone in a good mood!

Random Notes:
-I work with some pretty funny (?) people around here so I know I will now be greeted with many days of the week reports.

-Happy Mother's Day!

i'm alright. you know just ehhh. it's monday. j/k. j/k. but i'm doing ok.

mostly my response to such a question is..."i'm ok, how are you", "ehhh", "i'm sleepy/tired", or if i want to get a funny reaction i would say "i feel like crap. i just want to get a gun and blow my brains out. i hate life, and if i'm going down i'm taking everyone i can with me". i love using that one on clerks at the store, especially during the holiday seasons. mostly they just give me a odd look, like "are you serious" then i tell them i'm kidding. then they laugh it off. i also tend to get the same reaction when i go to a library or book store and ask for a satanic bible.

i'm guessing it's because of 2 reasons. 1 is that their isn't alot of blogs about traffic, and 2nd reason is because she is the goddess of all traffic reports at fox.

That sucks you should talk to my friend gerry everytime i ask him how he is when i see him he always has a pearl of wisdom or my favrotie one " Dandy like Candy" or "Fair to partly Cloudy" you have to hear it from him in order to get the feel of it. But he always makes you smile even if you are blue he will say somthing to make you smile or if he sees you frown he will do somthing goofy to make you laugh.

AsianCutie,
Welcome! "Dandy like Candy" is cracking me up. Your friend seems like a great person to work with.
Samo, you're right. I figured I'll keep all my ranting within the Traffic section because I do traffic. Back to mornings for a few days and I didn't sleep at all last night. Total zombie mode!

well erica, who said god's work is easy? your job must be harder then anyone else in the nation, when it comes down to reporting traffic. you have one of the worst congested area to cover in the U.S. no wonder your in zombie mode.

Well hang on a second Samo. Traffic is traffic right? So traffic in the hallway does technically count ;) So Eric'a blog officially counts here as a legitimate traffic article!
