…in late summer:
1) My one (newer) (taller) (Thai) coworker’s younger daughter comes in after school, and part of her hair is now dyed red.
“You have red hair?!”, I was like. “I didn’t know you dyed your hair!”
“Yes I do,” she was like. “Fix your memory!”
2) I have to step outside because I check my email, and this retired priest who’s a world expert on something that I’m researching received my email right away via an academic institution where he had taught a few years ago when I had emailed them the previous day, and within hours he had emailed me back with his phone number and said to call him at like 2pm the very next day, without checking with me at all about my availability.
Thankfully, although I only check my email only once a day if that, I had checked my email at like 1:50pm and I was able to take my waiter-pad and quickly sketch out the most important questions for him, and then take notes there in that as I sat out by the patio and called him and then spoke with him for like fifteen minutes.
Also thankfully, he had specified a time of day that happened to be very slow at the restaurant, where I didn’t cause any problems by dropping out of my workday like that.
Kind of loopy and very endearing, in an old religious.
