You ever get that moment where everything’s quiet… and you still hear a Slack ping? It starts small. A phantom buzz in your pocket. Then suddenly you’re checking your microwave like it owes you a notification.
You haven’t been “offline” in years you’re just a walking green dot now.
Every sound becomes a threat:
Dishwasher? Work.
Doorbell? Meeting.
Your cat? Definitely your boss.
Congrats, you’re not haunted. You’re just running on notifications anxiety. If this hits a little too close… go listen Ringxiety.

Lyrics🎶🎵
There’s a ding in the kitchen
A ping in the hall
I thought I was offline
But I’m vibrating through it all
Little red dot starts to glow
Another "you’ve got mail"
I open the screen
It’s a heavy flow
My head is a mailbox, losing the trail
The whole day trapped in a bubble
"Can you just..." "It’s urgent, please..."
Between two tasks
The static doubles
Refreshing my anxieties
Slack and Outlook in my head
Going ding on every thought
Every icon
A storm to dread
Just trying to catch the breath I sought
Slack and Outlook in my head
Like an organized hurricane
I need a real break instead
Before I pull the plug on the strain
Green light flickers
Private channel
Bad joke, wrong time, out of place
I force a smile behind the panel
Auto-react with a smiley face
Reminder in the corner of my eye
Meeting starts in ten
Nine
Eight...
My coffee’s cold, a lonely sigh
While the to-do list writes my fate
Slack and Outlook in my head
Going ding on every thought
Every icon
A storm to dread
Just trying to catch the breath I sought
Slack and Outlook in my head
Like an organized hurricane
I need a real break instead
Before I pull the plug on the strain
I kill the sound
I dim the light
But in the dark
It rings all night
Ghost echoes in the quiet air
My thoughts are vibrating everywhere
