asking questions

Has it ever occurred to you after a while, that you don't really know the people you work with?

That very realisation came to me tonight.

I don't want to know their inside leg measurement or anything but it is interesting to know what's goin on in their lives.

I'm led to believe that it's all to do with asking questions then paying attention to the answers rather than waiting to jump in and have your turn to speak. (I picked up that little nugget from listening to an audio book while wandering around K-Mart last week.) It seems very straight forward and forehead slappingly simple but few of us practice it...and I include myself in that group.

So, I might give this 'question asking' thingy a whirl. You never know what you might find out about someone.
