Is Something Wrong With The Internet?

I think the Internet is down. No one is responding to my e-mails.

Something weird is going on.

Despite me sending out numerous e-mails to friends, family members, and potential clients, hardly anyone has responded back.

My inbox is supposed to be FULL of replies. WTF?

Something must be off. Someone check on San Francisco. Everything cool over there? No major seismological events that could impact internet servers? Is there a Gmail outage? Should I switch to AOL?

It couldn’t be my high expectations that I set for other people, could it? It couldn’t be that other people are busy and have lives and I’m not the only priority on their mind, could it?

No one’s replying to my texts.

What the hell is going on?! Despite sending out texts to my friends within the past hour, no one has yet to respond.

Are they okay?

Did the rapture happen and I didn’t notice?

I’ve been trying to curb how much news I watch, so it’s possible I missed out on something. If my friends did get raptured, couldn’t they at least text me back from Heaven? Or send me some sign?
