you're alive!

... said my friend A. when i picked up the phone. uhm... yes? obviously, something had gone wrong in the communication.

in the morning, i'd sent her an email to ask if we could meet that night instead of the following night. i'd said to send me an SMS as i wouldn't have computer access until i got home. but, having got nothing until past the time set, i'd gone straight home. it turned out she'd tried to call and had sent quite a few SMSs all day with no reply from me... as i'm always on time and everything, she got really worried and, she told me, had even decided that if i didn't pick up the phone that last time, she'd come over to my place to see if i was ok. sweet. but the wrong place to look: if something serious had happened to me, it would have been at work and i most probably wouldn't have been home. but still. sweet. now we just need to find out why she couldn't get through to me. i know my mobile is on its last legs, but i still get phone calls and SMSs from other people...
