visited a friend this summer who I haven’t seen in person in ten years or so, but stay in touch with over email (ha!), so I know where they work and so on but not much else
anyway, I remembered that someone who might in theory work relatively close to them at their job was in a social space I was in, who posted in chats I ignored and meant nothing to me but I thought to ask “oh hey, (saying something like this paragraph out loud)” do you know this person?”
[squints at my phone]
“Yes.”
