Silence is golden, especially during close of business hours!

There has been a realization lately after having watched the behavior of self and of colleagues during the day.

We tend to be more cautious and professional in response during the start of business hours. As the day progresses, we slowly and gradually start letting our guard down. At the close of business hours or at the time when we tend to sit late, we are more prone to say things which we otherwise won't be caught saying. Silence at this time is truly golden.
