That's the way it goes is not the answer to the question, How's the experiment getting on?
There is something missing.
e.g.
BILL: How is the experiment getting on?
JOHN:I'm having a real problem with X, Y and Z, but that's the way it goes.
I would say you use the expression, "That's the way it goes" as a rueful comment when something is not going well. |
