Oh dear. TMI alert, will whitefont. So I seem to have developed some intestinal issues, specifically
diarrhea
. Luckily this happened while I was home for lunch, but now I don't want to go back to work. I think it's either a really mild case of food poisoning or maybe because I started taking Vitamin D last night, but in case it gets worse I really, really don't want to be stuck at work twenty minutes away (or in a work truck, or at a tire store). Is it unreasonable for me to call in? I can keep doing some work from home (email and phone calls) but I hadn't planned to work at home today...
I just don't think it's over and really, really don't want to have an episode at work. We work in an old house with no insulation and the bathrooms are not soundproof *at all*.
I'd say that's a "stay near your own bathroom" situation, smonster.
Okay, thanks for the validation. Left a voicemail for my supervisor. He's not going to be happy, but oh well.
IME, "a stomach thing" is always good for calling out of work -- no one wants that on the job.
Yeah, I think that's totally valid, smonster -- for you, and for not spreading it to them. I know I'd be grateful for your taking that precaution for me.
Random fact of the day: I am wearing almost knee high boots and sushi socks, which I think Teppy gave me.
IO9 had an article on faceblindness and someone linked to this test. I feel incredibly privileged right now, and also like I spend too much time looking at pictures of people, because I consider myself only average with facial recognition (and I have a deepseated continual panic that I will lose the ability to recognise my mother's face. I have no idea what that's about), and I could get 100%. Average is 85%. And some people just plain can't do that.
The brain is terrifying. Freaky deaky.
I've also been thinking about coincidences. I have bumped into more people from my two years of Jamaican high school than I have who went to McGill. The odds are kerfucked for that. I just never find McGill grads, but for no good reason (three of the times were off the island) I've bumped into girls I went to high school with. What *is* that? Why are we all over the place.
I've only bumped into two McGill grads since I left Montreal. Two face to face encounters, anyway. More online, but my high school meetups weren't online.
I got 100% too, although I feel like being able to remember his movies and not recall his damn name should have counted against me for Robert Fucking DeNiro.
