HALLWAYS

Not the hallway the event occurred in  

The other day I was walking down a hallway at work and I saw a co-worker at the other end of the hall walking toward me. I smiled and waved.

Then continued walking very awkwardly and self-consciously down the hall. When we got close enough to exchange pleasantries we said hello again.

It seems excessive. Two hellos for one encounter?  Should I have held off on the wave and just said hello? Should I have waved and forgone the hello (this seems rude).

Anyway, welcome to a glimpse inside of my head.
