I stayed offline for as long as the trending topic lasted.

While I was contemplating which organic fertilizer to use for my farm, my resilient manager called me from the hospital.

She said, "Tamara, I got you on a variety show."

I was shocked.

She continued, "Since you're quitting the industry anyway, might as well earn as much as possible before you go."

She hung up, clearly not wanting to talk to me any longer.

I consoled myself to make money while I still could.

Some money, though, was best left for others to earn.

For example, the show my manager got me into was a dating show named 'A Couple of Things About Me and Them'.

I laughed out loud.

I asked, "Hey, Rebeca, I was wondering why the show you found for me is..."

She replied, "The penalty for breach of contract is eight million."

I said, "Okay, I'll do my best."

It wasn't until the day before filming that the show finally released the cast list.

The guests included the three-time award-winning actor Heath Osborne, pure actress Earlene Lam, washed-up actor Brain Camacho, controversial rapper Jonathan Marshall, and popular singer Mia Grimes.

This lineup immediately shot to the top of the trending topics.

The hashtags included ##Heath on a Dating Show, #Heath and Earlene Collaborate, #Heath and Earlene CP, and #Jonathan's First Variety Show.

And, of course, a few involving me. Such as #Tamara Announced Dating Show Appearance and #Heath and Tamara Collaborate.

After playing dead for days, I had to crawl out and retweet. [Looking forward to working together.]

Then I went offline again, opting for strategic ghosting.
