On the way out of work tonight a co-worker said to me the word 'night,' as if to say have a good night.
This got me thinking of the way people greet each other and what not. Why is it that people feel the need to point out the time of day it is? "Morning" ... "Night" Is it really necessary to cut the word 'good' from the statement? I think not. I think it is quite necessary to add some sort of adjective. If someone just says "Morning" upon the start of the day how am I supposed to know whether I should have a good morning, a bad morning, a fancy morning or a drab morning?!?! I just can't know whether people like me or hate me!
Think of this the next time someone rips the personality out of any greeting or salutation and call them out on it. "Morning."..."Looks like it to me." "Night"..."Is that what the darkness means?" Rude? I don't think so. You're just demanding clarification regarding your social standing with a person.
That's it from me...have an excitingly awesome night!
