Actually that happens here all the time. I've been here for 15 years and when I get busy I don't have time to be going around saying hello to everyone. I will acknowledge someone if I pass by them or in the elevator but if they don't acknowledge me I really don't care. And I refuse to participate in any pot luck lunches, staff meetings, baby showers, or any other morale boosters. I have not attended the Christmas lunch in 10 years or plan to do so in the future. I work with these people, why do I want to socialize with them.

I know I'm getting away from your topic of discussion but, hey, this is my rant now.
