Reminds me of a rental car company I worked for years back (about 10 years ago). Supposed to always be quiet and professional, so I sat at the front desk and would tell everyone Good morning or whatever time of day .. most would just look at me, but I would smile (thinking: geesh must be having a bad day all around). I left there and no one would treat the desk as the greeter like I did and still to this day they are talking about how I used to always say hello no matter what .. LOL Well just tell her the monies are good, so take it and run with it. Some offices just aren't meant to have the banter of others (there might of been gossip problems in the past that caused problems).
