One day at office :
My Boss : Hey Rudy, how is your weekend ?
Me : Good !
My Boss : ( silence… ).
My Boss : ( after 5 secs ) Good, so how is bla2…
Another day when answering phone call from my boss :
My Boss : Hi Rudy, how are you ?
Me : Good !
My Boss and me : ( silence… ).
My Boss : ( after 5 secs ) Good, I want you to bla2…
What should happen :
My Boss : Hey Rudy, how is your weekend ?
Me : Good ! yourself ?
My Boss : Good, so how is bla2…
and
My Boss : Hi Rudy, how are you ?
Me : Good ! and you ?
My Boss : Good, I want you to bla2…
Keep in mind that you need to ask back when asked by Australian or it will turn awkward. After spend 2 months here, I can’t follow it yet.
