She Has Risen

2:45am Jen's phone rings. I tell her that her phone is ringing, but she doesn't believe me. It rings again and she asks, "What's that noise?"

Uhh. It's your phone. This time she picks up and away we go!

The new phone system she put in a week ago has gone down at her company's call center in Bangalore (that's India for those that don't know). She does what she can, but it's no use. She repeatedly calls and leaves messages with the service company for the system, but no one returns her calls. I get back to sleep around a quarter till four.

At 7:30 when I get up (again), this picture is what I find.

I told her though I really appreciate her efforts to make me feel better after my horrible weekend, this is going too far. A simple hug would have been fine.
