Something funny happened at work on Friday.

The story begins at the beginning of the year, when my design for this flyer was okayed for inclusion with the California Medi-Cal Provider Bulletins. The company I work for (EDS) works to provide Medi-Cal publications assistance.

The purpose of this flyer was to encourage providers (hospitals, physicians, etc.) to switch from paper bulletins to e-mailed bulletins.

I wasn't sure the Department of Health Services reviewers would accept this design. It is attention getting, but admittedly kind of wild and violent. 

It was accepted and shipped out to thousands of health care providers along with their monthly bulletins.

Then, on Friday, Jerry came into the break room at lunch to tell us about an accident outside of our office building. 

A truck had hit a telephone pole, smashing it in half. I ran outside to take some photos.

This semi, carrying pre-fab framed walls had caught the pole with its oversized load.

It knocked the pole in two. This was just exactly what happened on my flier, only totally different.

Isn't that strange?

For the next flier, I'm going to have to work a "I won the Mega-millions Lottery" theme in there somehow.
