Stomach flu much?/1st day of work
Of course, yesterday was my FIRST day at my new job. The night before, everything was fine and dandy. When I got up, the crippling stomach cramps waere almost too much to bear. Being the stubborn one that I am, I went into work anyway, not thinking of the problems that lay ahead. Once I got to work, I was in and out of the bathroom, still dealing with the pain of the stomachache that I had. I thought that it would pass, so I hung in there… hoping that it was just temporary. Boy was I wrong. I decided to go home and take a nap for an hour or so to see if I felt any better. On my way home, I ran into the store to grab a couple of things. While I was waiting in line, it happened… I’ll be 25 years old tomorrow and this was the first time, since I was in diapers, that I crapped my pants. Yes, I admit it. I crapped my pants. Not only was I embarrassed, but a total mess to boot. I went home, went straight for the bathroom and Chris was wondering what was up. He came in to see me (I was in the shower.) and asked me if I was ok. I told him that I wasn’t a few minutes ago but I was now. He kept asking me what was wrong and I kept telling him that it was nothing. I finally got irked and told him “I SHIT MYSELF, OK?” He left me alone after that. Today, I feel much better. It must have just been one of those 24 hour stomach flu things. I don’t really care. I’m just glad that it’s over.
As for my first day of work, you know they weren’t happy when I had to leave because I wasn’t feeling well. I went back after I took a nap because I really need the hours.
It seems like this job is going to work out ok because I am learning alot in the process. The more I learn about taxes and tax codes, the more knowledge I will have when I go to start my own business in the future. No one told me that there I would need to bring something to drink so I went thirsty for the first part of the day. Winn-Dixie is right down the plaza from us but, since my unemployment check hasn’t come in yet, I am so broke that I can’t pay attention right now. I’m going back for day 2. Hopefully today will be better.
Til Next Time,
JiLL
