time to lie

Mondays at work tend to contain a certain amount of small talk centered around the weekend. How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? But in the same way that I don’t particularly care what my coworkers did this weekend, they don’t particularly care what I did either — there is a script to these things that is in turns comforting and maddening.
On the plus side, it *is* funny.
Coworker: “How was your weekend?”
What I’m thinking: ‘Shen Wei wears a watch on his left wrist, but I’m not sure we ever see him actually look at it. Presumably quite a few of his powers have the potential to disrupt the battery power and/or electronics of a watch, but maybe it’s wound by hand and has gears instead? Or it’s fake. Is time even the same in Dixing? Did the Justiciar really imply that maybe people hadn’t *noticed* that the Hallows were gone? Because that doesn’t really match up with what I thought they were supposed to do, but on the other hand, it kind of seems like he’s a liar?’
What I say: “Great, great, how about you?”

ETA: In the VERY NEXT episode I watched, Zhao Yunlan asks what time it is and Shen Wei checks his watch!
