The Breaks

My coworker acquaintance, your recent divorce has left you maudlin. Upon broaching the subject, you become emotional. Such an exhibition is wholly inappropriate for the work environment and completely unacceptable for any kind of time-filling small talk. Perhaps we all should just dance around the subject. Although it requires a certain mental strain to remember such parameters of conversation, I'm willing to make the extra effort in order to spare myself continued awkward moments. Perhaps we should all band together as the brotherhood of man in this movement.
