The Roles (Other People See Us) Play

Teacher, I came by your office at 6:30 PM, but you were not here.


Thus reads the message on my office door this morning. I cannot help but wonder what these students think of us lecturers. Do they really expect us to sit in our offices until midnight waiting for them to deliver their late assignments?

I guess that is how we all are. We see people within specific roles and we pigeonhole them in our minds -- forgetting that a life is seldom a single role, but instead a kaleidoscope of many roles.
