Like a month ago at the start of an afternoon shift at the resthome, my one (skeptical) (Mexican) coworker was moseying around the office doing this and that to get ready, and then she checked her walkie-talkie in her pocket and said out loud to no-one in particular, "No-one is calling me."
"Are you lonely?", I was like. "If you're lonely, I can find work for you and call you."
It took her a second to register what I had said, then she shook her head with this quick little sharp motion like she was waking herself up, then she batted her hand at me kind of dismissively but also kind of endearingly, and then she just walked right out of the office door, without saying one single word to me.
