Last week may have been my worst day of this entire year. I woke up that morning with some stomach cramps related to a recurring intestinal problem that I have, also coupled with some light diarrhea. I wasn't too worried about it though and went to my college classes. My physical science lecture ended 30 minutes early which gave me 45 minutes until my next class, and since I had to go to work directly after classes I decided to run out and grab some food. I ran through a Taco Bell drive thru, which had a long line. By the time I got back, there was about 10 minutes until my class started and I had quite a ways to walk. I wolfed down a 5 layer burrito in less than a minute and took off.
I don't know if that burrito was frikken poisoned or what, because by the time I got to work my entire abdomen was rumbling and churning. After working for barely an hour, I knew something was very very wrong. I took advantage of a gap between customers to use the bathroom. As soon as I sat down, a burning wave of hell came out. Thing is, I still had several hours of work left. After quickly making myself presentable again, I returned to work. Not five minutes later the feeling was returning. I was probably burning hundreds of calories by clenching so hard. I waited as long as my strength would hold out in order to avoid suspicion. I knew I was not sick but also knew that someone finding out I was having intestinal problems would send me home likely for several days to a week. I went back in the bathroom and expelled what would come out and then plugged myself up with toilet paper to extend my breaks. That seemed to work but I still had to take breaks every hour or so. I escaped though and everything was fine a few days later.
