BreakForTheLight - Yeah, that is weird. Part of my husband's job is supervising law interns. An internship is required to become a lawyer here. Internships last six months, so he has had group after group of interns come and go without ever meeting them in person.
In the past, he would sometimes get together with the interns he had good relationships after they had finished. One invited us to see her boyfriend's band play. We used to meet up with another guy and his girlfriend for drinks or dinner every so often. We even went to their wedding. I taught English classes to another. Now, they are just faces on a Zoom screen.
And a HUGE congrats on the new job. I hope it goes well!
