What A Rotten Day
Time has flown by and things have been hectic at work which surprised me as I never expected more projects to be rolling in but they have. Not a bad thing considering I’ll still keep my job with the company doing well. But things were really rotten today as my day started well but ended in chaos and embarrassment. I’m not sure if I learned anything from it but I guess I should. Still, it was a horrible horrible day and I would not want to wish it upon anyone else so maybe some might be able to learn from my mistakes.
I think it must have started with my favorite time of the day – lunch. I thought I had a great lunch, it was nothing out of the ordinary and one of my favorite dishes – sashimi. I’m one of the rare few in my office who dares to eat raw food like the Japanese do and while my colleagues enjoyed their cooked noodles, I went for two platters of sashimi all by myself. I’ve heard stories that you should not consume too much at one time, due to the bacteria that might be in the food. But good food usually reduces the ability of rational thought, and that’s what happened here I guess. I finished all two platters by myself, as my lunch companions did not dare go near them.
When I got back to the office, the signs started appearing. My stomach started to rumble just like the good old wrestlers. I thought nothing of it as that normally happens after having raw food. So I went for some green tea which I packed in abundant supply in my office. It cleared some of that fishy taste in my mouth but did not seem to quell any of the unrest in my stomach. I could feel the gas building up and thought oh no here it goes again time to make a trip to the washroom. So I headed there and thought nothing of it. Clearing my bowels would definitely get rid of the problem.
Suffice to say, I ended up making the trip not once, not twice, not thrice, but a total of five times. At the end I was exhausted and ultimately drained, like most in my position would be. I had to make an early exit from the office, all the while wondering if I had stunk up the office washroom and carried it back to my room. Guess there are definitely times when you wished you carried a bottle of perfume or cologne with you whereever you go. Women are smart I tell ya.
