  This reminds me of the time that I learned that the correct answer to “what’s up?” is “what’s up?” At least in the context of that one coworker who would say that to me as we were walking past each other.

  I’ve since learned to recognize these things as a “bid for connection”. It generally has little to do with the content of the question or the answer and everything to do with relating.

  So basically there is no wrong answer. And there are lots of good examples in this thread!

  Personally I tend to answer “not much” as a knee-jerk reaction, but sometimes I’ll remember to say something else after that.
