The company that I work for, Fiserv, is truly a global company.
Headquarters is located in Wisconsin. We have offices, in NY, GA, OH, Oregon, Europe and India, to just name a few.
The reason that I mention this is because of come of the colloquialisms that I hear on a daily basis.
Don't worry about it.
No worries.
Forget 'bout it.
You're welcome.
All the above are responses you could get depending on who you are talking to when you tell them "thank you."
The phrase that I have been hearing frequently from people from Georgia is
At the end of the day ... yada yada.
Most of the time I state when all is said and done ...
The majority of the time I hear either phrase, it relates to how important or unimportant something is. For example, at the end of the day, does it really matter if I wear my brown shoes with my brown belt, or my black shoes with my black belt?
There are a lot of events that happen during a given day and very few of them really matter at the end of the day.
Don't let small things bother you all day because at the end of the day, they probably won't matter.
Make someone's day and perform a random act of kindness. It could be as easy as reminding them at the end of the day, the small thing that was bothering them really does not make a difference.
