There are so many 'stop and chats' at the office. You are constantly bumping into people and of course, need to converse. I'm not complaining, just observing. If you have a conversation at the office with someone, there never seems to be a definate end to the conversation. It just seems to fade away. Once it gets to the point where there is a pause, or the topic is exhausted and no other topic is introduced you usually continue on your way back to do your work. But on what note do you leave and create at least a bit of closure. Well, I have been comprising a list of conversation ending phrases that people, me included, say while walking away/ending a conversation at the office.
- .....sounds good
- ....sooooo...... ok
- yup, so, yeah......we'll see then
- ....alright....
- yuuup,
(me) "... so this large women is completely getting off from being tied up and dressed in nothing but a metal sheath while her tits are being electricuted by some chick and a guy is behind her whipping her ass; all in front of a huge crowd of people who are staring while her husband is standing there holding her coat.....crazy eh?"
(someone else) ".... yeah, wow...... alright then"
These are always slow and drawn out. "Yup...... so...... yeah.... we'll see" while slowly walking away. It's probably just me.
Well, I have devised a few more phrases I will use in my last 2 weeks of work to throw people off. Being inappropriate at the office is great. Suggestions are welcomed.
- fuck yeah
- im going for a dump, we will continue this later
- im going to look at porn
- smell my finger. ok see ya
....
ok.......

Congrats on giving your two weeks.
As far as ending a conversation in the office, I always liked when somone else would walk by right at that akward moment of the ending of the current conversation. That new person could then be used as a decoy/prop... "Oh there's (name)... I have to talk to him about something..." Or even better, if the other person uses it as an out, then it saves you from having to do it, and you can just continue on your way (Which in my case was usually to go get coffee or to go to the bathroom).
Keep up the posts... they make me laugh.. I love office humour!!!
