Overview
Casual conversations don't have to be vapid conversations -- that would just be a waste of your time. So make sure any small talk you're forced to have today is very brief! Don't just yak about the weather or the latest sports scores -- cut to the chase about what is really on your mind right now. Not only will it interest the person you're talking to a lot more, but it will also help you get a better handle on what has been bugging you. You have a lot to say, so why not say it already?
