1. "How are you?" to which I reply, have you heard anything about my health I am not aware of
2. "I got paid from a sponsor out of my money problems, taking off for a few days" I always reply that is the worst thing you can do, stick to working. You know why I say that, because if the last payment you received makes a difference to you then you are broke and should try get to a place in life where no one sponsor payment will change your financial situation. I am not trying to act big headed or arrogant I am just stating the obvious. This mind set is doomed to fail and keep you in financial hardship for the rest of your life.
End of rant.
