Okay, so I admit that I figured that something was wrong when the calls started pouring in at work. Of course, I never thought...I mean. Only some of our customers would think to call the call center in the middle of something like this. Like there's something that we can do. Even if there was an issue with our company not providing service, it's not like we can very well roll trucks out to repair the lines damaged. The whole thing is rather unsettling. It hasn't reached here yet. I don't know how. I think what's worse than sitting at the call center watching the queues pile up is the silence on the ends of some of the lines. The eerie quiet. Or the small noises. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom to cry at one point. And in the middle of code red. I don't see how they can very well blame me for it, though. I dunno, I just feel sick. Like I'm realising everything that I always took for granted. People are only starting to freak out here. The nearest outbreak is Savannah, for crying out loud, a fair distance, I suppose. I wish I weren't babysitting tonight. I just want to gather up everyone I know and just kind of...huddle in the middle of them all, shaking and crying until everything goes away. I'm not sure that we'll be able to leave...I mean. We have to. This is such a densely populated city, we have no chance...but mom and dad are nurses. They can't exactly leave at a time like this. And all the children...I'm not sure what we're going to do.

I've never felt so helpless.
