The Hall Pass Smile


isn't it great, when you're walking through the hall at your work, and you pass someone you know, and you HAVE to acknowledge this person, so you give them the raised eyebrow look or the half-smile? god, those moments are really really AWESOME.

at my old job, where every single employee was miserable, we passed each other in the hall, with the raised eyebrow look.



at my new job, where people are given ample time to concept their creative projects, but where there are 600 more people, we give the "total ignore" which is a look, a look down, and a look away – or we give the half-smile, the "hi, you're there, i'm here, this doesn't suck" look.

i still can't get over the differences in working for a worthwhile company vs. working for a rip-off company. it's all in the face.

What about the head nod while stopped at a light? Why do most people think they are invisible in their cars for that matter? Seems to me half of it is transparent.
