You canadians are too nice. It would have taken all of 5-10 seconds for someone to boot his butt off the train in Chicago if he tried that here

I know, I know, that's why I said

Yeah.
Did you see the first video?
It's tainted by newscaster babble but it's really good to watch.

Had an interview last friday, went pretty well. Been waiting all week to hear back from it and never heard a peep.
Got a message from a friend who works for the company (who I got the interview through) asking me to phone him back ASAP.
So, I phone him. Apparently, they've been trying to phone me over the past two days. Except my phone had no missed calls. They had the correct number, my phone just wasn't receiving calls. Just what I needed right now!

Sounds like old man Coincidence played some part in this.

My guess is:
during those exact times this new job called for you, the sound of the phone ringing was drowned out by something else and you didn't hear it.
{even if that wasn't the case it's still a pretty good story, don't you think?}
I've had really awkward things happen at the start of a new job; one time the new boss came to pick me up in the morning, he rang the door bell and I leaped out of bed at lightning speed .. only to bash my leg on a table so hard I could taste the pain.
Luckily I didn't break it, and the job went Ok in the long term.
I hope you have similar fortune, but without bashing your leg.
