That's pretty much a gear grinder but whatevs!

Just a simple "Hi" will suffice for me. Even a nod of the head or a raise of the eyebrows, or both, would be acceptable. As I walk through the office I feel as though I'm supposed to say "Good morning" to everybody. I walk though an enormous work area and say "Good morning" to each group as I pass by, only because people's reactions when I don't make me feel like I'm being rude to them.
I've recently pondered just walking in, shouting "Hey everybody!" and getting it done with... who knows, maybe they'll all shout out "Norm!"
