It has surprised me how the seemingly small things have proved to be effective. Today's was just a little bit where I didn't talk to Hua-yu for the second half of the day. That's it.
By three she was in my office asking me if it was killing me as much as it was her. Now, while I'm not a silent type by nature, I am competitive and enjoy a "bit", so I persevered without much issue with the exception of one guffaw escaping my mouth.
This did extend to not talking to her in google talk or via email as well. This seemed to really be a little unnerving. I debated whether half of the day meant half of the work day or half of the day and ended up deciding that half of the whole day was much more amusing. Then it was decided to have a happy hour for an employee who is leaving the company. Uhoh.
I made it through the first part of the happy hour not talking to Hua-yu, but then my bossy nature took over and I felt the need to explain a policy (free second order of enchiladas) and thus found myself talking to Hua-yu. This resulted in a scream loud enough to upset one small child, a pout-off and a sad, sad face (that would be me).
So, silence may be golden, but I'm not qualified!
