Sick at work
I wasn't one for taking days off sick even if I was feeling a little off colour. One day, going in feeling a bit under the weather I had to be in a particularly boring architecture meeting where I knew I wouldn't need to give input for some time. I turned up at the room 5 minutes late and took a a spot close to the door. My stomach decided to start grumbling and I started to feel a bit queezy after only a short time; a couple of those burps-where-you-get-sick-in-the-mouth and I figured I'd have to leave the room shortly... but then out of the haze of the meeting going on around me, I noticed everyone looking at me - I'd not been paying attention and had been asked a question - in shock I started to ask what had been asked only to blurt projectile vomit over the meeting table as I opened my mouth to speak. Quickly getting up I raced for the toilets leaving a snails-trail of puke behind me. Somehow I managed not to hit anyone else but my shirt and trousers were covered. I was forced to take the rest of the day off and never had any issues taking 'sickies' after that... :)
