Synchronicity

Today I thought about an old co-worker of mine.  We had so much fun working together that most days I laughed so hard that tears would fall.  We enjoyed giggling about really ridiculous stuff and it was awesome. 

 

He got laid off and I left the company.  We haven’t talked in nearly a year.  I miss him.

 

So, I thought I would send him an email but when I looked to find it I realized I had his old email address and no way to contact him.  I figured it was just as well.  People move on right?

 

Later that morning, I was emailing another old co-worker of mine asking how he was and made no mention of the other coworker I didn’t have an email address for anymore.  Check out his response to my email….

 

“[Daydreamer], [Daydreamer]

How the hell are you?  This is a coincidence – [old coworker I wanted to get a hold of] emailed me this morning wanting your email address and I didn’t have it.”

 

Isn’t that just about the freakiest thing you have ever heard of?  After almost a year of not talking we both tried to get a hold of each other on the very same day and talked to the exact same old co-worker and exchanged email address that way???

 

Turns out I emailed him (the dude I didn’t have the email for) and he had tried to email me this morning but he had the wrong email address too.  So when he responded to my email (after I got it from the other dude) he sent his original email to me.

 

All I can say is that I got goose bumps.  Weird…..

DUDE! I can't believe how cool it is that you got in touch with ex-coworker dude. And that ex-coworker dude tried to get a hold of you on the same day that you emailed other ex-coworker dude who had just received an email from ex-coworker dude who said ex-coworker dude wanted your email address. Dude, that rocks! Faith is completely right."It makes the world a little less disconnected."

So you e-mailed him, but didn't have his current e-mail. At the same time, he e-mailed you, but didn't have your current e-mail. So you both e-mailed a third ex co-worker, but this person didn't have your current e-mail until you e-mailed him. So then you got the correct e-mail and e-mailed him.

Life is good.
