When you are not or no longer working, and somebody asks you how is your work.

How do you reply them?

Do you say, work is fine or you just tell them plainly that you are no longer working?

I find the answers both awkward

Work is fine!
We bless God!!

Fine

Fine

Work is well, thank you for asking.

Work is fine noni

For close pals or family tell the truth that you're no longer working, respond with fine for acquaintances.

He is fine

Answer-

Wo, abeg leave that one jare.

plainly say am no longer working

All is well

...


If the said person is an important person, I will rEply with the latter.. But if he's as useless as heliunes or Manama vulture grills I will reply with the former or a resounding hiss


...

Better say the truth because anybody can help by passing a very important information that will help you.

Say the truth even if they won't help

I hardly engage in long discussions..

I will tell you 'Fine' and waka



I can remember someone asking me about my late mom because he wasn't aware that she was late, responded 'She is fine' and went about my business..

He later found out about it and was angry with me, I no even look his face

Answer: That reminds me, How's your mum?

You don't owe anybody any explanation. Go thy way!!!

If it's someone you feel can be of help to you in getting another job, it will be wise to let him/her know your current state.

If it's just a random person looking for regular gossip, you can tell him/her fine, so as to avoid being the topic of their next discussion.

What of if the person is trying to help?

Everything's fine.

To avoid further asking.
