It happens that, when I encounter colleagues in the hall, I open my mouth to greet them but no sound comes out. Invariably I over-compensate and, when meeting the next person, greet them explosively as I might imagine an angry Grover or Fred Sanford would do.
I'm considering a new system of hand signals or glottal grunts to pass as hallway platitudes but have not yet settled on a marketing plan.
And so my challenge for these trying days shall be to socialize the grunt.
