Pleasant bits of resthome life (1 of 2): Missing each other.

At the resthome, workers notice all the time when other workers are gone, like when someone's been on vacation, or like when someone's started working different shifts and so the two people don't synch up like they used to, or like when maybe people usually work the same shift and they bump into each other all the time or at one particular time of day on that shift but somehow they don't just one particular time on this one shift for whatever reason, and then they see each other again the next shift and one of them asks the other where they've been.

I see this all the time at the resthome, but I *never* saw that happen in academia.

Yes, academic work is more cloistered away, but to me it seems that it's more like my one art school colleague who wears women's clothes says, academics are so self-absorbed, of course you have all these people posing as other races and getting away with it forever.
