Is there a stomach virus going around?
I'm stuck at work, vomiting and overall feeling like crap. No one will relieve me until 7 am.
Just wondering if there is something going around?

7. We did have some students in here a few days ago
from Japan. They were looking at the area college.
Those bastards-they gave me the damn flu!

6. BWAAAAAAAAAA!
Let's see-my daughter will be five in a few days and I broke up w/ her father when I was three months pregnant...NO CHANCE!

If I am then we are going into Armageddon or something.

9. So, what you are telling everyone on DU is . . .
. . . that you haven't had sex with a man for the last 5 1/2 years?

Well, neither have I!

We have something else in common.

B-)

10. Yes. I have not had sexual relations for the last 5 1/2 years.
Who has the time? Not the first year when I was working 60+ hrs per week and nursing a baby. Not the second and third year when I worked full time and finished my degree. Not the forth year when I had to work two jobs to pay for the college loans from years two and three. And the two jobs thing is not expected to change for quite a while.

11. Sexual relations ? What is that ?
Is it a new board game or something ? Never heard of it.

13. I think that I've forgotten what it is.
I have to admit that only in *'s Amerika can a single mother who has been celebate for going on six years and works two jobs can still be called a welfare whore (I've heard it and I don't get assistance).

15. saw it.
One of the few positives is that all of this vomiting will hopefully promote a small weight loss (I could only hope). Also, I notice that my abs always feel really tight before and after I vomit. So I must be getting some sort of decent ab workout.
Otherwise, I have been at work since 11 my time and have vomited almost every half an hour (total of 5 times). It sucks.

16. Interesting-I did see some in the air yesterday.
I felt fine until a few hours ago.
I prefer to count this as a bug. Don't want to get out the tinfoil too soon!

20. It didn't start until I got to work.
Up until then I felt just fine. Now I feel like crap.
Wonder if it might be environmental? Maybe they're using new cleaners or something?

28. And statewise, we really aren't that far apart.
Some of our new airmen could have brought it w/ them around here.
This sucks.
