I get to work exactly on time, breathless, having run (literally) from a voice acting gig for a game which ran late.
At work, in the back office is a supervisor I’ve never met.
Me: Oh, hello!
Supervisor: Oh, hey! I think it’s our first time meeting?
Me: Yeah! I think so.
(we shake hands)
I’m Kellie!
Supervisor: Oh! Kellie. . . . Holway?
Me: Um, yes. . .
Supervisor: Wow! I was just talking about you yesterday!
Me: (thoroughly confused) Wait. . . what do you mean??
A longish conversation ensued, inevitably turning to Black Mirror. But in the end, it turns out, we have a mutual friend who happened to mention me in conversation (possibly also having some Black Mirror connection) the day before.
I felt cool for a nano-second.
Tokyo with all it’s big city bravado, is truly the smallest world after all.
