let us wink

As I walked through the halls of my employer today I realized that people would be more at ease and thus morale would improve if there was more winking going on. I occasionally wink and when I pull off a good one I realize I should do it more.
I'm sure you could go across the country and be able to classify most working people into just a few classes:
- no eye contact makers
- read blackberry while walking
- the smile/grimace. It's so hard to force the smile that it looks painful
- hi, how are you? fine, you?
- bluetooth guy already in conversation
- winkers

Winking is superior to the others (in order) because it's more social, safer, easier to do, not empty and meaningless, and more in the present. A wink simply says, "I acknowledge we are crossing paths and perhaps we'll exchange words another time. Until then, here's a wink."

Not everyone should do it though. I recommend it mostly to the smile/grimace and the hi, how are you? fine, you? groups. If one doesn't know where they fit then a simple rule would be to wink if you're in a non-technical field. If you're technical then follow your instincts.
