Having a nice day?
Not the most original or funny of questions.
It is recommended by the committee that you ask questions like “do you like wearing mismatched socks?” or “is the momentum created in the economy by a .25% interest rate drop a good thing on a Monday?”.
Other original questions such as ” do you need an oil change?” are not the sort of inspired boost to communication we are steering towards.
Committees can be unreliable in contributing to progress, but create a sense of importance for their members.
