Chris is not so talkative but he looks nice, i have that feeling that we're going to be fine, he didn't say a word since we got into that room, he doesn't even look at me.Oh my god it's going to be so hard for me to keep quiet the whole day.

Chris: Amy do you have the programme or not yet!

oh damn it finally he said something,

Me: No not yet

He kept staring in his laptop,

Chris : ok,can you give me your email so i can send it to you.

I wrote it on a piece of paper and i gave it to him,

Chris: thank you.

We kept working in silence and each time i needed something i ask him by sending an email,

step number one of proficiency:don't ever ask something from a colleague orally,always leave evidences by using emails.

I decided to put my headphones and i start listening to some music, actually there wasn't so much to do on the first day.

Even at lunch time we didn't say much,

Me: So do you work here the whole year or this is a part time job for you too.

Chris: It was my part time job , but from now on it's going to be my full time job, i mean temporary.

Me: So you'd graduated.

Chris:Yes

Me: In which major.

Chris: In communication and event planning.

Me: That's great, congratulations .

his answers were really short as if he was asking me to stop talking, i got it,though, i continue asking.

Paul:So! Amy how did you hear about us?

Me: on Facebook!

Paul:good.

We finished lunch we got back to our offices, i put back on my music,and kept working.

Step number two: Don't share personal interest with your colleagues.

I think he was focusing on this one,even though i didn't ask for something personal i was just trying to break the ice, I don't care anyway. 

It's 4:30 we still have 30 min to went out from the office,finally he said something,

Chris:Do you live somewhere near from here.

Me:a little bit, i live in the area of the cathedral.

I was kind of following the second step of proficiency.

I start preparing myself to go home as well as what Chris is doing,

I went down stairs waiting for a cab ,then a black ford stopped in front of me ,

Chris: I can drive you near the cathedral if you want to, i don't live so far from there.

Me: thank you, I'm fine, i have to meet someone somewhere else.

Step number three:Don't show them where you live, they might be some psychopaths,and they will never be you friends, there are no friendships at work.
