No one wants to spend all their time outside of work talking about work, and yet we do it so often. Who hasn’t gone out for a happy hour with the coworkers, promising to talk about other stuff, and ended up rehashing the latest office gossip? It happens to the best of us. After all, we like a good horror story as much as anyone else.
So here’s a solution for when you want to blow off some steam, but then move on with your life: The Minivent.
Only got five minutes for a smoke break? Perfect. Grab your favorite work buddy and rant your guts out. Then when you’re done, use a few more minutes to talk about Grey’s Anatomy, your plans for the weekend, this hilarious thing your roommate said the other day…basically, anything but the office.
Because if you spend all your time talking about work, then the bosses have won.
