Reply #15: Barfing Is *The* **Worst** [View All]

[REP]

I know most people love heaving, but I really, really hate it so you have my complete sympathy. Yakking bile is especially unfun (not that that there's a good thing to hurl).

And another really sucky thing about GI stuff, besides what it does? It's not like a broken leg or even an appendectomy, which gets instant sympathy and some deserved slack from coworkers. GI stuff isn't really discussable, and people feel free to snark about "going to the bathroom ... again?" If you have this kind of work environment, I hope you can demonstrate why you're excusing yourself ... all over the shoes of who ever is asking.
