It’s not just you; Gmail appears to be down. Usually when this sort of thing happens it gets resolved quickly, but for now you might be stuck chatting with a real human person in your physical presence.
In the meantime, please feel free to make a Gmail-is-down joke of any of the following varieties:
- Internet snow day!
- Yahoo! Mail is still up.
- Google+ is also down, guys.
- You can reach me on AIM/fax/phone.
- Hotmail is still up.
- I’m free, I’m free!
- Let’s take this to Orkut.
- NSA something something something.
- I want my money back.
- APOCALYYPPPPPSSSSSSEEEEEEEE.
Go ahead, get it out of your system. And if Gmail does happen to come back before you get your zinger in, at least you’ll be ready for next time.
Update: OK it’s back now, hope you made a good joke, I’m glad we all got through this together.
