TOTD : people, depending on their biological and social composition, differ in their abilities to switch memory contexts. Some of us can discuss our entire lives in the same sentence as our official duties - but that is only because we keep our lives very simple. Others have components of their lives which are not entirely under their own control - often this is spoken of as "emotional life". A number of the people I've socialised with go into red alert and close all borders if their emotional security is breached while they are performing official duties. In summary, statistics indicate that it is a bad idea to engage with invitations to discuss emotional life during office hours. I think I should make it a rule that we only do it over refreshments.
