Making Small Talk At The March Coffee Date
If we were having coffee, I would ask if you are good at making small talk. I enjoy long heart-to-heart conversations and can chat for a few minutes with anyone about anything, but I have my limits. At networking events I can “make the rounds,” but long, seated dinners are another story. After an hour of small talk with the 2 or 3 people I can converse with, I’ve got nothing left to say—but they haven’t served the main course yet! With four networking events coming up, I need to up my game and have a repertoire of conversation starters—that sounds like a perfect job for ChatGPT
If we were having coffee, I would tell you I had a great time skiing and love the accommodations at Jackson Gore Inn—especially the gas fireplace—but some of the kitchen utensils were not satisfactory. I can’t be the only person who needs to measure coffee, and was glad to find measuring spoons until I realized they were virtually flat. I managed to make a decent pot the first morning, but picked up a real set of measuring spoons on our next grocery store run.
Can you tell how flat the metal one is?
If we were having coffee, I would tell you how much I love the little light-up tree my husband got me for Valentine’s Day. It looks so pretty when I come into the kitchen at dark o’clock in the morning—it definitely sparks joy!
Now I understand why people keep holiday lights up year-round.
If we were having coffee, I would ask if you have a collection of hotel key cards. I don’t mean to keep them, but I almost always find a key somewhere in my clothes or luggage when I get home. Often I’ve “lost” my key and had to get another one from the front desk. I’m lucky they don’t charge for them!
Most hotels have “keyless” options using an app, but I always want a key card too.
Do you measure the coffee to make a pot?
Do you have a good conversation starter?
