Today, they called and wanted to know why they had not heard from me. I checked my email again -- no emails from this guy and 0 unread emails. I emailed back and said I had not received the information from X, and if it had been sent previously, please re-send it. Ten minutes later, I have an unread email, dated 10/21/13 that just suddenly appeared from X. I know that he must have sent it in response to my email, but it is dated 10/21/13. How the **** does that happen? I checked for an email from X literally ten minutes before.
It was lurking in his outbox but never reached the mail server until he tried to send it again. Perfectly rational explanation and it was human error. No supernatural forces.
