Conversation Peace
You can’t talk about politics because you’ll wind up strangling somebody. You can’t tell dirty jokes or you’ll get sued. You can’t talk about TV because SPOILERS. You can’t talk about music because everyone’s taste in music sucks except yours. You can’t talk about your kids or your workout or your home repairs because nobody else cares about your kids or your workout or your home repairs.
So what CAN you talk about at work today? Fish.
All it takes is one AA Deco Aquarium at your desk to establish a non-threatening identity as the office fish enthusiast. The small talk will flow easily from there, as light and insubstantial as the bubbles from the built-in air filtration system. “Hey, nice aquarium on your desk,” they’ll say. “What’s next, a Jacuzzi?” Every time a co-worker eats fish for lunch, they’ll joke, “Sorry, hope this wasn’t a friend of yours.”
You’ll learn to take the compliments in stride. And you will get compliments. If anybody wants to get more substantial, you can talk about which fish thrive best in an office environment, a topic that requires divulging only facts about you that your co-worker already knows: you work in an office and you have fish.
No politics, no religion, no hopes, no dreams, no sports, no music, no Walking Dead spoilers. Their impression of you will remain two-dimensional: that dude sure likes fish. Total fish fan. Way into fish, that guy. Because if you’ve got to talk about something at the office, it’s easiest for everyone if that something is as close to nothing as possible.
