Larry Thoughts, 2.0
Larry has been out sick the last several times I’ve been to my internship, but this past week we happened to be walking in around the same time.
“Larry,” I said, “I’m glad to see you’re feeling better. We missed you yesterday.”
(The team missed him because he generally drives the much-loathed county-owned minivan on Thursdays for a shopping trip to Meijer’s with several of the clients, and this meant more work for them. I missed Larry in spirit.)
“Yep,” said Larry. “Got almost all the way to work yesterday and had to make a flyin’ stop in at the McDonald’s on Ellsworth, then turn around.”
“Oh yeah? Needed some breakfast?” I asked.
“Nope, had a major blowout.” (NOT referring to his tires.) “Was a real shitstorm in that restroom for awhile.”
