At work, we have this age old SMS system. Some 20+ years ago, I got bored and decided to make a calendar on it. And every year since then, I would update it.
Until this year. I figured “What’s the point? We all have internet connections now, no need for this obsolete thing.” Well, today I get a call from a guy in IT asking me if I would update it.
IT: “Grrr, can you update your calendar?”
Me: “No, that’s okay, nobody in the area uses it anymore. You can just delete it.”
IT: “I understand, could you still update it please? I’ve been getting calls from Japan, Mexico, etc, that still use it.”
Me: “Whoa, really? Okay then”
So weird how it went “work viral” like that. I never told anyone about the calendar except for the folks I worked with. I have no idea how people in Japan and the like even know about it.
