[quote=Anonymous]Have short easy answers like: "When I can afford to." "Remember I joined the civil service late so have to stay in longer." "Don't I wish! Doesn't look like anytime soon." etc. People ask questions like that for the same reason that they ask newlyweds when they plan to start a family, when they plan to give little Suzy a sibling, etc. People want to open conversations with "standard topics" and many just don't have the appropriate filter to weed out the questions that are rude. If they are the type of person that doesn't remember having that conversation with you before, then you just need some stock responses to give them and then deflect.[/quote]
