What a begining
What an interesting morning it was. I somehow managed to pick up some sort of stomach bug at Pennsic and have been able to keep down next to nothing since Saturday. Now needless to say one cannot call their brand new job on the first day and tell them that they feel horrid and aren't coming. So I have gotten up everyday and dragged myself to work. By last night I was starting to feel better and actually managed to have an okay dinner. Boy was that a bad idea, because this morning I woke up and believe me if I could have removed my own stomach I would have done, with a plastic spoon if necessary. Still I got up, got ready and drove myself to work, 30 minutes on I-95 with all the crazies of the world. The minute I walked in people started asking me if I was okay. I kept smiling and nodding hoping if people just stopped asking I would be okay. No dice, instead I got sick right in front of my new boss. Who of course promptly told me to go home, which I happily did. I have spent most of the rest of the day lying in bed drinking Pepto like water, with no visible sign of improvement. Now I am waiting for my medical advice to call and tell me if I need to take myself down to urgent care. Something I really don't want to do at all.
Crap what a beautiful way to start a new job. Of course on the up side I am sure no one will forget who I am.
