#249. Out of nowhere

August 17, 2009

BRETT: I can't believe she left me. This is so out of NOWHERE...
THE CLOUD: ACTUALLY... 4 weeks ago you fought after seeing "Away We Go".

THE CLOUD: Her tone in emails, texts and tweets since then CLEARLY indicates a building resentment that you've done little to counter.

A pause.

BRETT: Can I opt-out of your hindsight?
THE CLOUD: Certainly. Would you mind taking a short survey before you unsubscribe?
