Generally, I wouldn’t share embarrassing stories like this on the Internet, but this blog is supposed to be about real life. So, here we go. And please feel free to laugh. I have been so you might as well laugh along with me!
About 30 minutes after eating breakfast, I started to feel a rumbling in my stomach. I went to the restroom, which isn’t exactly close to my office, and I felt much better after that. About 15 minutes later (it’s about 10:15 am at this point), it happened again. This time, I was NOT successful in my attempt to make it to the bathroom. Fortunately, it wasn’t particularly bad, but enough that I decided to say “screw this day” and go home. I grabbed a towel that I keep in my office (supposed to be for drying off after coming in out of the rain/snow/etc.) and headed home. I get in the car and remember that I need gas! So, off to the gas station a go. I pray that the spot on my pants isn’t visible underneath my coat. After putting about 1/2 a tank of gas in the car, my stomach starts to rumble again. Ugh. Now I HAVE to go inside the gas station to use the restroom. I walk carefully because I’m afraid the work “incident” might happen again. Fortunately, I made it to the bathroom, but I was in there for probably 10-15 minutes. When finished, I race and I MEAN race for home! By the time I get home, my stomach has settled down and I feel a bit better! I strip off my clothes and throw them in the washing machine. I change into comfy clothes and log in to World of Warcraft. I figure after the morning’s embarrassment, I deserve to kill some things! 🙂
It’s happened to me before too!
