Jim Medding’s Blog

I had a coworker who had had a very bad day; kind of like my day a few years ago. I pointed her to my blog posting thinking it might cheer her up, but when I received “How horrible” as comment back from her, I realized that that it hadn’t.

I also realized that my original posting might not have quite caught as much of the retrospective humor that I was hoping for. And there were some very humorous moments. One of the things I didn’t put in the blog is that I had Greg call my wife to let her know what was going on. The conversation went something like this:

Greg: “Hi Mom, were down here by the overpass”
Cindy: “So, you’ll be home soon”
Greg: “No”
Cindy: “Why not?”
Greg: “The van’s on fire”
Cindy: “What?”
Greg: “The van’s on fire”
