Alright as an awkward transition. I sometimes say it to myself or others outloud when I am switching activities. For example, yesterday, when I stopped doing my job online I said outloud, "Alright, now I am going to start peeling the asparagus for dinner." I said it as I walked from the room I was working into the kitchen. My daughter was in the kitchen but on many days I would have said it even if she wasn't there! Sometimes I say alright outloud when I have made a decision in my head. So weird! Some days I don't say it at all--other days I feel like I totally overuse it.
