I'm really not someone prone to magical thinking. But, some superstitions seem all too true.
Monday through Wednesday, I am in my office for all of my usual hours and a little more. Does the phone ring on anything I've been working on lately? Yes, but not often. The phone was certainly more quiet than usual.
This morning, I decide to work from home in the morning for a change of pace (ah, the joys of telecommuting and being your own boss). What happens?
I come into my office this afternoon, sit down at my desk and my voice mail box is absolutely full of messages. The messages outnumber the number of calls I received in the first three days of the week.
I can think of no rational reason that everyone in the world had a sudden urge to call me on this particular Thursday morning. The voice messages were on completely unrelated matters. But, this is what happened. Go figure. Maybe I should spend a morning out of the office a little more frequently.

Oh how I loathe voicemail.
Working out of the office a few days this week myself. Sometimes when you need a few hours of uninterrupted reading or writing time it's the only way.
The weather was lousy today and wonderful yesterday. Obviously, people were catching up after playing hooky.
I agree with Kelly. There is a heartbeat or groupthink to society that can explain these coincidences -- driven by things such as weather, holidays, and drudgereport.com
