Contextually appropriate...or not.

Do you ever get on the phone to make a call, and talk to someone without realizing what you're saying? Then you get off the phone and wonder if the comments you made were really contextually appropriate?

Example:

Other guy: "Good morning. How are you?"
Me: "Ok, how about you?"
Other guy: "Ok, but I seem to be getting a cold."
Me: "Ok. (pause) So I was trying to reach Ms. X."

Oops. Did I just jump ahead without saying "oh that's too bad" or "feel better"? Hmmm... and I wasn't even trying to be cranky.
