because I don't have an icon full of tears....

[roxy]

IBS is the devil. I can never go back to work again. Oy. I had to embarrass the heck out of myself today and run out the building because I don't know about anyone else, but home is the only place I can be when things are, shall we say, blowing up. Fortunately I don't live too far from work. Hey! Isn't it great we can share like this? Yeah, it is.

soooo...I guess maybe I should go back to my doctor and get some paperwork on this. I've had to bust out of the job almost every Friday the last two months. I know it looks suspicious. If I was a young thing, they'd probably have booted me already. Lord, I'm so tired of looking like an ass. So to speak.

*sigh* I just needed to vent a bit and share my pain about my disobedient bowels.

Still friends?

Of course still friends! *HHHHUUUUGGGSSS* If you can't share your embarrassing work related stories to your online friends, who can you share them with?

Since we're sharing our embarrassing personal stories about work. I almost started bawling in the middle of the office and had no chocolate in sight. I considered using company resources to book a flight to visit my ex bf to either ravage him or beat the crap out of him. Or some interesting, hinky combo of the two (that would surprise and freak out my co workers if they knew but wouldn't faze anyone that knows me here).

Fridays are exciting!

(And yes that was my pathetic attempt at trying to make you laugh or at least smile)

I don't quite have IBS, but I get symptomatic quite a bit. I have to call the office and ask for someone to watch my class, wait for them, sometimes in a lot of pain that I have to keep from the kids until they get there, and then hobble to the bathroom, past a bunch of classes, and then return, many times feeling worse than I did.

So, I feel your pain. *hug*

*hugs you tight*
Dude, we've all been there.

...

Or, okay, maybe that's just me, but....yeah. When your body doesn't work right? It suxors.

*luffs you forever*
*smishes you*

When I was substitute and summer school teaching, I usually skipped lunch because that seemed to set off my IBS. When working in an office, it was no big deal because I could go to the restroom any time I needed.

ooh I had that happen when I was on holiday once... not fun...

STILL adore you :)

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

Of course we're still friends! You're too adorable to let go.

*hugs... just not too tightly* lol

Still friends.

Even if this does shift you over into the other side of the Venn diagram, the side where people tell me about their digestive tracts. That side is populated by my grandparents, my eighty-three-year-old great-aunt, and my cousin David when he's trying to squick me.

that blows. if you know what i mean. for a while there, i thought i had IBS. having desperately to find a ladies' room when one is out in public is a humiliation not easily borne. i hope the doctor gets you whatever paperwork you need!

I really do have a Bale picture for every occassion. :p

**gentle hugs to you**

Once at work a woman was in my office asking me about something and I started vomiting right in front of her....into a trashcan but there you go. It was coming out one way or the other and it was coming out at that very moment. After that she left all questions to email or the phone. Point is, if you live long enough, eventually you will lose it one way or the other at work!

In the measured tones of a PSA:

You are not alone.

[tragicllyhip.livejournal.com]

wow, that sucks majorly, but i don't have to tell you that. Hang in there, i hope you find a solution soon

[pepperjackcandy.livejournal.com]

:hugs:

Yes, get a doctor's note.

Also, why Friday, I wonder . . . ?

[opusnone.livejournal.com]

all I have to offer here is *hugs* to infinity.

[sage]

awww, poor you. Call your doctor, or at least talk to his/her nurse and tell them what's going on. There might be better meds or some hidden Friday-specific cause no one's realized yet.

*hugs*

*hugs, gently*

Hope you are feeling better today.

[carolandtom.livejournal.com]

Friends forever.

*Hugs lovingly*

*hugs* I had the same problem last year, but for me it meant that I could NOT make it to work on time for about a month. It was ridiculous. And I now know every place between home and work that has a public restroom. And which places have the best ones. *g* I'm like a restroom connoisseur.

Oh, no. I'm sorry. My mother had ulcerative colitis, so I sort of understand. (((hugs)))

[garryowen.livejournal.com]

Aw, poor you! I have a sad tummy, too, and I think my friends think I am making shit up when I say I have a tummyache and can't go out. It's gotten a lot better, but still. :(

From someone who stayed home from work twice last week because of the love affair I was having with my own toilet, I fully understand. *hugs*
