Or not. I'm not a morning person. In the X amount of years I have been on this earth, I have never been a morning person. All my friends know this and never call me before 9am. Except my sister, but she falls into the family bucket who have been programmed to ignore such details and call at whatever time in the morning is convenient for them. Same rule applies for meeting up after work, the fact that I have never left work before 5pm in my life seems to have escape their memory but I'm still the black sheep of the family for never making a 5pm dinner in Richmond. Go figure.
So last year when I changed jobs and started working in Yaletown, I would occasionally run into my next door from neighbour across the hall. Sweet girl, little quiet, think her name is Nicole. Lately this poor soul has had the unfortunate luck to see me every morning at the bus stop, where we get on the same bus, get off at the same stop and in a funny little twist of comedy, work across the street from each other. On the rare occasion, we also end up taking the same bus home. All of this leads to slightly uncomfortable moments. In the morning there is no way I have the mental capacity to chat with her on the bus. On the walk to the office, I usual walk 5 ft behind her at a slower pace so that if I time it properly she will cross the street and I will have to wait for another light change. Just one of my many morning avoidance tricks. The really awkward moments are the ones where we meet in the elevator. Do I say hi? Do I ask how she's doing? Do I just smile and not say anything? I mean let's face it - the girl must think I'm a freak, so would I scare her even more if I talked to her?

When you see her in the elevator or after work when you're in a "gooder" mood just smile and say "hey how's it going?". If she doesn't like it punch her as hard as you can right in her face. That way she'll avoid you and you wont have to avoid her.
