Ran into one of my coworkers on the way in to work the other day. They started to tell me how sick they were the day before and were wondering how busy we were and if we missed them? Well with my powers of great observation, I didn’t have the heart to say: I never noticed you were out sick. While they’re in the same department as me, I don’t necessarily notice them if I’m not looking for them. I just found it sad that I hadn’t noticed them out sick.
