Conversation. Nope.

It's early morning, time for work.  I'm standing in my work area, ready to begin, sorting a few carts worth of stuff into their proper locations.  Elvis marches up and begins talking at me about the football game last night between the 49ers and the AzCardinals.  Guess the Cardinals won in overtime, but he's got this smug tone in his voice as if HE won the game, and MY 49ers lost. 

I didn't answer him back;  I'm not watching football this year.  At that same moment, another coworker walked up and said "Good morning" to me.  So I said "Good morning" back to her.  And Elvis doesn't miss a beat as he begins to spew his personal viewpoint:  "Oh, you get a 'good morning'.  Guess it's Ignore Elvis week, or more like months, since it's been going on so long."

At this point, there's nothing I can say to make things right.  Even saying "Good Morning" at this point would a) make his point and b) make him feel superior in every way.  It would also suck me in to his level of narcissistic behavior.  It's been on-going for a really long time, and frankly, I'm sick of it. 

I've decided that other than relaying pertinent information related to work, or a polite "good morning" when the situation warrants, I'm not discussing any personal information with him.  Because it gets thrown in my face at a later date, or worse, used as a point of interest for him to try to have conversations with me.  Nope.  NaDa.  Not happening.
