What are the odds?
OK, ultra stoolborycro incoming, but the odds of this happening, have to be utterly astronomical. Like a billion to one. I don't even know if you could possibly calculate it.
So here I am at work, working on a loan for a customer. We had her old address on file, and it hadn't been updated yet. I was off on the weekend and never met her this time around, but picked up the file since I had dealt with her before. So after working on it for a few hours, I reach to pick up the phone and call her. Just as I am doing that, I get an email from the condo management company about an issue in the building, and stop dialing to look at the email. As the president of the condo board, I get all tenant emails sent to me. I read through the email, and the name of the tenant, is the name of the client I was just picking up the phone to call. Not a common name either. I look at the phone number and email, and it in fact the same person. Neither of us were aware we were living in the same building as she had moved in a month or so back, and I haven't been staying at that address for a couple months.
The odds are already astronomical enough to receive this email from her at any point in time on two completely unrelated matters involving both of us. But the fact, I stopped dialing the HER phone # on an unrelated matter at that exact moment I received this email from HER on another completely unrelated matter takes this thing into the "Um did I just break the matrix?" territory.
Anyway, both of us are completely blown away by what a ridiculously random coincidence this was.
Thanks for reading, and carry on with your lives.....
