When you have good news - where is everyone?
The news you've been waiting to hear finally arrives and it's good. In fact, it's great, and you can hardly wait to let everyone important to you know.
So, you start calling - but absolutely no one answers their phone. It's not possible you think - how can everyone be gone all at the same time?
It happened to me last Saturday. If it happened only once or twice before, it'd be a coincidence, but there is definitely a correlation between having good news and no one being anywhere near their cell phone.
You know what it's like. You're bubbling over with joy and want to spread your good news with close friends and family. After all, who wants to run into Target or Wal Mart or Publix and shout, "Hey everyone. I found a job (who'd believe you in this economy) or I lost ten pounds."
No enthusiasm there. Chances are, all you'll get is escorted out.
So you wait and wait and wait for the phone to ring checking it frequently in case you missed hear the ring.
Do they all meet up at the same place so they can miss your call?
Eventually, they all call back...ho hum...but your enthusiasm has waned by then.
Maybe I just have to chalk it up as one more of life's little mysteries...such as, where do those missing socks go after you've done the laundry?
