the good o' blog…

So, I had this all day manager meeting for work today. After the meeting they took us out to Dave & Buster’s as a thank you. It was fun, although I didn’t have my best pop-a-shot day.
I left about 15-30 minutes earlier than I do on a typical day. Of course that is the day that a major accident completely shuts down the interstate. It took me over an hour and a half to get home. While crawling along I noticed that there was a van in the next lane over that has it’s blinkers on and isn’t moving leaving a big gap in front of it. No one is paying any attention to this other than frustration about their lack of movement. I finally pulled up even with her, and unrolled my window to ask if she needed to be pushed off to the shoulder. She seemed kinda freaked out, and said that she would appreciate the help. So I threw the car in park and pushed the van while directing traffic to make room for her to move over a few lanes to the shoulder. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to move the stalled van, I guess it was the adrenaline, good thing cause no one seemed interested in helping.
Anyways, it was nice to help someone out. I wish I could have just fixed it for her there… It was going to take a very long time to get roadside assistance to her considering the conjestion. Hopefully she made it home safe.
