I suspect lots of them will be sitting in meetings hoping that no one else can hear their IBS shouting at them through their office suits, wondering why they get cystitis when they drink lots of hot coffee in haste, and grab a moment to visit the loo at least twice a day....I could go on, but my former colleagues might recognise themselves. Torpor sounds just fine to me, and houses can wait for years to be cleaned, nicely insulated by dust and pet hairs.
