It went off. Phone was on vibrate, it vibrated. I hit button to stop vibration, it stopped. Unlocked phone like normal.

Yawn.

About 30 seconds later, one of our paraprofessionals walks into my office, all upset, asking me if I got a presidential alert and wondering what was going on.

I looked at her and said, they have been talking about this on the news for weeks and it was postponed once. How did you not know about this??

She said, I never heard about it, but the only news I listen to is NPR.

You know....I checked the Thanos website and it told me I was killed for the good of humanity.

And I didn’t get the alert.

It was a pleasure posting with you guys

These presidential alerts remind me of something from an awful SciFi channel movie set in year 2229 but produced in 1989, where a near by galaxy are attacking us and our obese, orange, one eyed, emperor wants to warn his people.

I will be honest, I jumped when the alert came on. It seems like no matter what. I can be expecting it or not, anytime any type of alarm comes on I scares the shite out of me.

Be sure to report back


It was totally underwhelming.

I went to the end of D where all the Spirit and Frontier flights are. I can confirm that Boost Mobile and Cricket phones did in fact get the alert. Unfortunately it was so staggered that it took about a minute for all the phones to get it and no one was really surprised. Just a lot of people with dumb looks on their faces.

I’m signing up with a Canadian carrier so that orange idiot won’t alert me every time he eats a Big Mac or walks into Nikki Haley’s dressing room.
