I work for the government.  I have two children. I like horror movies. Napping is a hobby of mine. I have not read any book like Way of Kings. The book I read most recently was about treating people who have had someone close to them die. I have a younger good friend who suddenly lost her husband. I read the book because she recommended it. I find the book on grief very helpful. I am closer friends now with the woman who recommended the book to me because I have learned how to support her. I'm not an empathetic person. I read self help books.
I like novels about government spies. I read a lot. My dad is a fireman. My mom is a doctor. I live with my mom and dad and pets. The book I read recently was  Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I like government spy novels best, but like other genres too. I have a friend that recommended the series to me. I have read the other three books in the series already. I have a hard time reading self-help books but I am rethinking that because of what you said. I read a book to improve my social life. I have ridden on the fire truck with my dad. My dad has worked on a fire truck all his life. I have a job. I've been working on improving my social life with my coworkers.
I started a new self help book. It really provides guidance with initiating conversations with coworkers.  That's great. In some of the books I read, some of the government workers are spies. How are your relations with your coworkers? Have you ever had someone suspicious where you work? My relationship with my coworkers is very cordial, but I am not close with any of them. I believe this is mostly my fault for being somewhat closed off, so I am trying to learn how to be more open with people. I cannot say I have had any suspicions about anyone I work with, but maybe if I start getting closer to them I will learn some secrets!  In the self help book I am reading, it emphasizes that making clear boundaries between coworkers is essential. It also explains some mental exercises to do the night before you go to work to imrpove relationships with coworkers. If you do run into someone suspicious, I would be careful. In the spy novels I read, spies are dangerous. That is some very good advice. Maybe I can borrow that book from you when you are done reading it. I think that I view my coworkers as very regular, boring people. But maybe those are the ones you need to watch out for! haha. I will definitely lend you the book when I am done with it. Maybe I could borrow your book when you are done with it. We can also share how helpful the books has been for us. Mine is helping me. The other day, I was able to express myself more deeply over the phone with one of my coworkers. I would love that, we could start a little book club! I am happy to hear you were able to have that breakthrough with one of your coworkers. How did they respond to the conversation? They were delightfully surprised. Does your book say anything about improved relationships with coworkers improving productivity? My book says that relationships with coworkers and your work environment are one and the same and thus both influence productivity. Good relations enhance productivity.   I cannot say it mentions anything about that, I will need to learn more when I get a hold of your book. I am excited to read it. I suppose that will be a win-win then, if I can improve my relationships with my coworkers. We do spend most of our lives with our coworkers, so it really is important to cultivate those relationships. What do you do for the government? I work odd jobs off and on. At the moment, I am on a two-week-long construction assignment. I am not allowed to say what I do, unfortunately! Maybe if we get together in person I can give you more insight! Do you make a lot of money? My book says that in general, bringing up how much money you make it is not an appropriate topic of conversation. However, there are times in casual when it is acceptable to state how much you earn per hour or per year.
