Chatting
is defined as “a real time conversation between two or more people”, “talking
in a friendly and familiar way”.
This
week I went back to the Office. I was worried about going back since I’ve been
working from home for over 3 months yet it has been good, seeing my team mates,
Chatting face to face with my Manager and colleagues.
I do a lot of talking on the phone with work and I am blessed that I love my
job. Yet I do get sick of talking all the time and get tired by the end of the
day.
Yet
Chatting and striking up conversations or brief Chatting definitely lifts my
energy.
One of
my colleagues has been popping in my office and I enjoy Chatting with him, just
briefly, an energy boosting chat and then back to work we go, heads down,
focused work.
When I
grabbed my chai latte yesterday I enjoy Chatting to the Owner, checking how she
is going and asked about her husband and family.
And
then at the lights there were grandparents and a young boy and I started
Chatting with them, brief, lighthearted, energy lifting, smile making with a
genuine feeling of “have a great day”.
I am
definitely the one to start a conversation or say a quick comment or hello
particularly if I’m walking or waiting in line.
I
remember in the past when I have had jobs where I have worked in an office and
it was very focused and quiet work and I would have to break out and connect
with my colleagues and spend a few minutes Chatting.
As an
Extrovert, I definitely get energy from Chatting and it definitely brings me
Joy.
