00:00What's an excuse to call off work that a boss can't argue with?

00:02I can't come in today. My house is gone.

00:04My manager, Quinton, laughed through the phone.

00:06What do you mean gone, Barnes? Did you forget to pay rent again?

00:08I mean it's literally not there anymore.

00:10A sinkhole opened up at 3 a.m. and swallowed it whole.

00:13Right, and I'm the queen of England.

00:14Barnes, you've called in sick with food poisoning three times this month.

00:17Last week, your car supposedly broke down on the same day as the company picnic.

00:20Now, your house magically disappeared?

00:22Get your ass to work or you're fired.

00:23I hung up and stared at the massive crater where my kitchen used to be.

00:25The hole was easily 40 feet across and God knows how deep.

00:28My neighbor, Mrs. Russell, stood in her bathrobe, mouth hanging open.

00:31Santos, where's your living room?

00:32Bottom of the earth, apparently.

00:33The first news van pulled up as I was trying to figure out if my car insurance covered acts of geology.

00:38A reporter with perfect hair jumped out, followed by a cameraman.

00:41Sir, can you tell us what happened here?

00:42I woke up around 3 a.m. to use the bathroom, stepped into the hallway, and there was no hallway.

00:47Just a big hole.

00:48Thought I was dreaming until I heard my refrigerator crash somewhere down there.

00:51Were you injured?

00:51Just my ego.

00:52And my cat's still missing.

00:53Mr. Barnes was sleeping on the couch when it happened.

00:55My phone buzzed.

00:56Quinton again.

00:57Barnes, I'm not playing games.

00:58You have exactly one hour to...

01:00Turn on Channel 4 News, the morning show.

01:01I'll wait.

01:02I heard him fumbling with his remote through the phone.

01:04The reporter was setting up for a live shot, using my crater as a backdrop.

01:08We're here at 1247 Maple Street, where a massive sinkhole has completely destroyed this family home.

01:13The resident, Santos Barnes, miraculously escaped injury.

01:16Quinton's voice came back quieter now.

01:17Holy shit.

01:18That's actually your house.

01:19Yep.

01:19And my uniform's somewhere at the bottom of that hole with everything else I own.

01:22So I'm calling in naked, too.

01:23More news vans arrived.

01:24Channel 7, Channel 12, even the Spanish station.

01:27Neighbors gathered behind the yellow tape that firefighters had put up.

01:30The Channel 4 reporter turned back to me.

01:32Sir, how do you feel about losing everything you own?

01:34I looked directly at the camera, still holding my coffee mug.

01:36The only thing I'd managed to save.

01:38Well, I definitely don't have to worry about my morning commute anymore.

01:41Or doing dishes, or paying my mortgage technically.

01:43A firefighter approached.

01:44Sir, we need to evacuate the surrounding houses.

01:46This thing might still be growing.

01:47Growing?

01:48Sinkholes can expand without warning.

01:49We're getting everyone out for safety.

01:50Mrs. Russell grabbed my arm.

01:52Santos, where will you go?

01:53Probably my mom's.

01:54Or maybe I'll just camp out here and charge tourists admission.

01:57My phone rang again.

01:58Quinton's name on the screen.

01:59Barnes, Jesus, I'm watching you on live TV right now.

02:01This is insane.

02:02Pretty much sums up my morning.

02:03Look, take the week off.

02:04Hell, take two weeks.

02:05Company policy covers natural disasters.

02:06I'll talk to HR about emergency funds.

02:08Thanks, Quinton.

02:09Oh, and if you see a gray tabby cat on the news, that's Mr. Barnes.

02:11There's a $50 reward.

02:12You're worried about your cat right now?

02:14He's probably the only family member who won't say,

02:16I told you so, about buying this house.

02:17The Channel 12 reporter intercepted me.

02:19Sir, what's your message to other homeowners?

02:21Check your homeowners insurance.

02:22Apparently sinkholes are an act of God.

02:24And nobody covers acts of God except actual God.

02:26And he's not returning my calls.

02:27Quinton was still on the line, laughing now.

02:29Barnes, can you get me on camera?

02:30This is incredible publicity for the company.

02:32You want to exploit my geological disaster?

02:34I want to help and maybe get our logo on the news.

02:36Win-win.

02:36By noon, I was trending on social media.

02:38Sinkhole Quinton was getting thousands of shares.

02:40The mayor showed up for a photo op.

02:41We're going to help this brave resident rebuild his life.

02:44Brave?

02:44I fell out of bed and ran.

02:46Not exactly Medal of Honor material.

02:47Quinton called one final time that day.

02:49Barnes, think you could mention the company name a few more times on camera?

02:52Only if you give everyone hazard pay for working above unstable ground.

02:55Deal.

02:56Even disasters have silver linings.
