Tummy Trouble

I got in my car this morning and immediately got that "not so fresh" feeling, you know, when you feel like you have to, how you say, make a shit. Now do I go back in the house and hang around in the bathroom for a good 20 minutes or chance driving the 10 minutes to work hoping I can make it without "following through"? "Screw it, I'm going to work", I thought. If I can make it to work without going, then I can be on the clock while I'm in the can.

I realized what it is that made me feel like I had to go at that moment. It was the swig of water I took before leaving the house. I would just need to make the best of it on my ride into town. Having the heat on too high in my car would exacerbate it (I know that from past experience). About halfway to work, my tummy started to hurt a bit, but I kept going. At the stoplights, I was like, "Come on...come on". Thankfully, I was able to make it to work without incident. High-five!!!

That has got to be the worst feeling in the world. I used to drive 45 minutes to school and my bladder is probably the size of a pea (excuse the pun) and more times than not I'd get about half way there and I'd start getting that familar feeling and then by the time I got to school I'd be just about to burst but I'd have a five to ten minute walk into the building and to the nearest bathroom. I must have been a sight some days!

If you feel that happening again, you should have someone videotape it and then put it on YouTube. You could be a star!
