I work around alot of women in a daycare center, I am a cook there and have a difficult time with small talk?

I am the same exact way as you. I am not good at small talk and just like to get the job done. The only thing I can advise that I do, is just learn one or two small things about each person that you can ask about. Like, "hey, how are your kids doing?" or "how is the new puppy?" Little questions like that should start to grow into other conversations are therefore other things to talk about. And there's always the tried and true, "How about the weather?" I still use that a lot. Hope this helped!

I also work in a day care and sometimes it is hard to start a conversation while you are working especially as a cook. But the best thing is to just start off by saying hi or good morning, how are you today? And the conversation will just take off from there.
