So, when I'm at work and someone comes in and says, "I haven't seen you in a while!" when I have, in fact, been coming in for all my normal shifts and they just haven't come in while I've been working - what is the desired response on the part of that person? Because all the things I ever think of to say in response to that seem weird and awkward. This is not something it would ever occur to me to say to someone*, so I honestly don't know what's expected of me here.
Eurgh, small talk is so difficult.
*Not that it is a wrong thing to say - it's just not something I would say.
