Synchronicity

[cosmolinguist]

I've recently started working with a colleague I didn't know before. We haven't had a ton of work to do together yet but we seemed to click really quickly.

This morning she was emailing me about finding a time for us to meet, and she mentioned spotting that we're both off next Wednesday and Thursday. "You're not going to see Bruce Springsteen too are you?" she ended her email.

I was so surprised. She lives in the same area of the country as I do but it's not like we're even seeing him in Manchester, we're going to Sunderland. How random! What a thing to guess! And then to be right...

I said I was and explained it's my boyfriend's Christmas present for me and got back the email that's in one of the bigger fonts I've ever gotten an email in (which is saying something when that includes a lot of partially sighted people!) with a lot of exclamation marks, laugh emojis, and a gif of "Dancing in the Dark" Springsteen.

So we've swapped numbers and have vague plans to meet up for a drink. One more for the long list of magical things that Springsteen has made happen!
