      I would love to hear about tires and if there is anything I could have done to have avoided having to come in (it didn’t cost me anything so they aren’t losing money by explaining it to me) but I was not prepared for anything but basic niceties 😭

    Walking down the shuttle bus isle after a 12 hour shift at the hospital, just thinking about getting to my car and driving home

    Seated Coworker I’m Passing: “Cool swetshirt”

    Me: “Huh? … Yes”

    Now I have something new to think about, for the next few weeks

      Apparently people complement each other as a way to signal they would like to get to know you? Or as an opener to gauge if you would like to have a conversation? I thought you just tell people something nice about them when you noticed (but not their bodies or things they cannot change) because it’s nice to say nice things???

      I did not get the handbook with instructions when I was thrust into being.

        Right!?
        Does context matter?

        I’m literally walking down an isle of a soon to be packed bus, with people infront of and behind me, so we can all get to our cars in a parking lot nearly a mile away. Is it the time for a chat, during the 2.3seconds we have while I’m passing?
        Just totally suprised and not at all ready for that.
