A Kiwi thing

'Not a problem'.

I repeat that phrase like, 10 times a day. Want something done? Not a problem. Want something checked? Not a problem. KFC for lunch? Not a problem. Thanks, Steph. Not a problem.

I picked that phrase up during my time in New Zealand. It's all Greg's fault; spending hours of my time in his 'nothing is impossible' presence has evolved it into a sub-conscious state of mind. Nothing ever seems to be a problem.

Probably explains why I'm working late all the time, haha.

Funny .... I actually live in NZ but haven't really heard anyone say 'Not a promlem' yet, eh?

Would a simple "OK" or "My pleasure" sound more positive? I have this perception that "Not a problem" or "No problem" actually starts with my mind seeing it as a problem but upon analyzing, I don't see it as a problem at all. So what's your take?
