other person: hello, how are you?
me: I'm fine. Now about that blah blah blah...

I do exactly that. In fact, I find it invasive when people ask me how I'm doing. The person asking is inflicting a duty to answer I neither asked for nor wanted.
I try to structure calls like this: "Hi, Bill, I'm calling about the blah blah..." If you do it fast it cuts out all that shit.
