Business associations

The pool guy and I have been working at this same house for over two years. I dont know his name and I doubt he knows mine. Our conversation:
"hey"
"hey, hows it going"
"allright"
20 minutes go by
"there is glass on the patio. I wonder what from"
"yeah, I noticed that"
"hmm"
"its going to be hot out today"
"yeah, lucky I am in the shade"
another 10 minutes
"see ya"
head nod.
Do I know how to converse or what!
