Health, Management, Gross and Work: Coming and going

Coming and going

By Kristat - 01/04/2012 04:32 - United States

Today, because I was the only manager scheduled, I went into work despite feeling sick to my stomach. While sitting down with a customer, I got the urge to throw up and tried to hold it back. Instead I vomited in my mouth, instinctively swallowed and started choking in front of the customer. FML

Today, I got to work feeling slightly unwell. A couple of hours later, an extremely attractive customer came to my till, at which point my body decided it would be a good idea to vomit last night's dinner all over myself and the customer. FML

Today, during my shift at work, I started to feel really sick and started throwing up. While I had my head in a bag, I had several customers ask me for directions, and another customer abuse me for my lack of service. FML

Today, I was feeling sick but went into my waitressing job because I'd already missed 3 days this week. I was dizzy and managed to spill a tray of drinks all over the customers. Then, when their food was done, I tripped and spilled hot chili all over the man's lap. FML

Today, I had such a violent coughing fit that my stomach emptied itself all over the floor while at my sales job. FML

Today, I was taking the bus back to my university campus, having left work early feeling sick. While on the bus I started retching. I managed to hold it in for a while, but as I stood up to get off the bus, I started puking through my mouth and nose. This was in front of twenty other passengers. FML

Today, I vomited so hard into the toilet that the water splashed back into my face. I instinctually moved away only to finish puking on the floor. FML

Hard pass

By Mew - 04/06/2009 12:07 - United States

Today, while working at the hospital, I had a patient with a blocked bowel. It was so bad, feces were entering into her stomach. While leaning down to talk with her, she threw up. I was both vomited and defecated on at the same time. FML

Today, while rushing to a big marketing presentation, I started feeling ill in my car. I was stuck in traffic, and before I could get my window open I threw up all over my suit. All I had were some tissues to try to clean the mess before presenting to a full boardroom. FML

Today, out of nowhere, I started violently choking on my own saliva and shat myself in the process. FML

Yeah. There I'd no way I could swallow vomit. I'd just have to spew chunks on the customer and hope they can forgive me.

YDI for going to work when you're that sick. You may have been the only supervisor scheduled but I'm sure your work could have figured something out. I worked in a store a couple years ago and one of our supervisors thought that she was soooo important that the store would fall apart if she didn't come to work. She was hardly any help because she was so sick and she gave her bronchitis to myself and three other employees. I was sick for weeks! And as a result, my department had to be closed for several days. Seriously, if you're that sick, stay home! You're not doing anyone any favours :P
