One Day till Halloween!!!!

One Day till Halloween!!!!
I am so excited to get dressed up tomorrow! Even if my costume isn't that great - at least I will be participating in a long standing tradition of chasing away the evil spirits that come so close this time of the year!

Interesting Office Behavior...or maybe it is just interesting behavior in general...

I consider myself a pretty outgoing person in the office setting (which isn't how I am every where I know, but in the office I am outgoing) so when I almost run into people when trying to pass them in the halls and stuff I always say sorry and laugh. Cause it is funny when you are dancing with someone in the hallways! Regardless, I have noticed that there are some really peculiar behaviors when people have this happen to them. Just today I was almost running into this guy on my floor - instead of acknowledging my presence, he kept looking at the sheet of paper in his hands. He was scowling (which is nothing new, I don't think I have ever seen anything but a scowl on this person's face) and never once looked at me as I tried to get around him. In fact, to keep from "dancing" he simply stood stalk still until I decided where I was going.
I found it really strange.

The other thing is, the doors to my floor are locked. You have to have a card key to get in. So when someone opens the door for me, even if they are just walking out, I try to always thank them. Common courtesy. Well, there is this group of girls, I say girls cause that is how they act, on the floor that never speak to anyone but the people the come in direct contact with every day. I don't know that for a fact, but I try to be nice and smile and all that jazz and I have never gotten a response from them. One of them opened the door to the floor just when I needed her to so I thanked her. I thought it was funny how she never looked at me or acknowledged my presence and just kept walking. Weird.

Maybe it is just that group of people. Perhaps they have a secret pact amongst themselves to never speak to anyone else on the floor... Or maybe just not to speak to my particular group... hmmmm I will have to contemplate that one.
