Apocalypse Now

I just had a day with­out con­tact in the office. So I called every sin­gle per­son I reg­u­lar­ly talk to on the phone, and not one of them picked up. These aren’t just sin­gle peo­ple, they’re fam­i­lies and cou­ples, which means that every­one in the house was out. I even called my cell phone to make sure my land line was work­ing.

It’s like I’m the only sur­viv­ing mem­ber of an apoc­a­lypse. I’d half expect to see a mush­room cloud in the dis­tance, hous­es on fire, bod­ies in the streets if I looked out the win­dow.

I’ve nev­er felt so alone.

  2. I’m gonna do that next time. As long as you aren’t weird­ed out by “guy” phone calls. :)

  3. Yep, days like that. Sometimes I run thru my whole phone address book and nobody’s any­where. Emails blitz, no one on any mes­sen­ger pro­gram. Even neigh­bours out. I blame zom­bies. ;)

  4. My phone address book isn’t very big (I have about five num­bers on speed dial), but there’s usu­al­ly some­one around so it’s weird when no one picks up. Messenger is a com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent sto­ry cause I don’t feel as con­nect­ed when I’m talk­ing with some­one online.
