From hiatus to exodus explained

I can’t really sit down and write because I am at work, so I’ll just attach this email I wrote to a colleague to explain this situation. It’s an attempt at dramatizing and making mundane life fun to read. Notice my continuous struggle with verb tenses of the English language.
I was really looking forward to watching 300 and being able to discuss it with you guys later. That was the predominant thought on my mind when I left work Friday afternoon. Promptly forgetting that my cell phone is still sitting in the charger on my desk at work.

No problem right? I can just call you up and figure out when to meet anyway. Not knowing that the phone was cut off a week ago, because the Internet had been working. Since I know you guys are having a blast at Cat’s, I stuck with the original plan to call you on Saturday morning and left the matter at ease. I wanted to concentrate on playing with the new DSLR camera I sniped off of ebay.

The following morning, to my surprise, I found out that the phone isn’t working, no problem, I’ll just call you from a pay phone right? So I wrote you that email and proceeded to look up my contact list from gmail and I cannot believe that this isn’t some kind of joke that the omnipotent is playing with me.

I am no longer jacked in to the net. At first, I couldn’t believe the most obvious answer because if that’s the case, then it is the second time and it means that this is no longer just a case of abasent-mindness. My mood sank with each negative result returned by my troubleshooting, repeated till I couldn’t stand it anymore. I went to the Red Head and asked the million dollar question.

“Did you pay Bell?”
“No”
“For how many months?”
“Three”
“Again?”
“Again”
