This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

I should note I don't think I've ever small-talked with Mitch so when we do talk, she's letting me know about what I'm supposed to be doing in her class that day (I'll (usually) be told the afternoon before if it's a morning class) or asking for my input on something or another she's written up

Idk like, it's just, normally at work when you see someone for the first time that day you'd say hi, or hello, or morning, or otherwise greet 'em before getting them to do something for you, but this woman is no preamble and I've lost all sense of whether that's normal for Japan, normal in general, or I'm working with someone who just does not know/care how to People
