    I also dislike the “hey how are you?”. I understand they want to be friendly, but it only adds another step in the conversational exchange.

    “Hey how are you?”

    “I’m fine. You?”

    “All good”

    “Cool”

    “[the actual request]”

      I think it’s fine, if done with the nohello approach:

      Hey , how are you/had a nice weekend? I could use some help with ticket #12345 as I need to do … and don’t know how to do …

      But otherwise - yeah, you’re now right at the end of my to do list.

      Same here too, so I just cut to the chase as soon as I answer.

      “I’m doing fine, how can I help?”
