I never realized how much I depend on Google Talk for communicating with my colleagues during the workday.

When Google's chat service went down today, I resorted to calling people on the phone and sending them emails to get answers to my questions. The whole process felt painfully slow as I tried to wait for people to call me back (since most of these bastards screen their calls) or write an email replies.

I guess I'm just spoiled from having everyone accessible with just one click.
