I was driving at something along these lines. For example, if you and your co-worker happen to both enjoy "The Walking Dead", then spend a few minutes talking about this week's episode... Why not find common interests outside of work? Can it hurt?
What is a needless conversation? If connecting to your coworkers leads to career advancement and increased income, wouldn't it behoove you to reach out a little and, I don't know, talk to others? You're not a robot, right?
But work is not something that has intrinsic value, like, say, gold or silver. U.S. currency was backed by precious metals up until the Nixon administration when we were taken off the gold standard... Once upon a time, you could take your paper money to a bank and demand the equivalent amount in gold and/or silver. Once the instrument is backed by faith, it becomes a fiat currency.

Wow. That escalated quickly.
"Open the Pod Bay doors, HAL."
Thanks for making me feel old, Slashdot. I remember skipping classes at college because of DOOM.
I'm shocked. SHOCKED, to find out that gambling is going on here! Your winnings, Sir...
Thank you, Louis CK.
I guess it's not so secret anymore...
Didn't they do that all the times they landed on the moon in the 60's and 70's?
...that's no moon [but] it's a space station?
You keep using this word, "Java". I do not think it means what you think it means.
That's exactly what they *want* you to believe! Don't trust them, people!
I think you just made my argument for me.
That's *precisely* what intrinsic value is. Something is rare, so it has intrinsic value. What, am I taking crazy pills?
I was simply making another reference to "Casablanca". It's a great movie. You should see it.
Noted. Next time I'll use tags to denote sarcasm. :p
Exactly. Get to know your fellow inmates (grin). It can't hurt (much). :)

To whomever modded me down: this was sarcasm, mmmkay?
Eh? There's nothing religious about it. It just is. Can you store work in your safe when the shit hits the you-know-what?

Regulations are bad, mmmkay?
Should be the same for any fiat currency, not just the Dollar. How many world currencies are backed by anything with intrinsic value?
Isn't this what Business Analysts are supposed to do?
You win Slashdot.
