See, now I’d just leave a box of Imodium on the poor soul’s desk…

That is kind of impressive, actually. I like people who can spell.

Unfortunately, some of us do legitimately have, ah, “digestive difficulties”.

Fortunately, nobody questions them or asks for details.

All I have to say anymore is that I’ve been camped out in the loo…

“Tummy troubles” is what I use.

Agreed. At least he sent an e-mail to let his boss/coworkers know he’d be in late.

The correct answer to this query is:

“An infinite series of small bathroom emergencies.”

That’s what I used to politely describe my situation to a recent group of confederates.

And definitely not sitting in your chair. Really, I think this may just be the end of whatever working relationship we had. I’d say it’s been fun, but you’re really kind of a shit head. Buh-Zing!

I’m worried about the “voracious vomiting“!

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

Voracious, a. [L. vorax, -acis, fr. vorare to devour]

Greedy in eating; very hungry; eager to devour or swallow; ravenous; gluttonous; edacious; rapacious. [1913 Webster]

EWWWW!

@bec: You send yourself email when you’re going to be out of work? That may mean it’s time for a visit to an altogether different sort of doctor…

i had an employer that wouldn’t accept the ambiguous “not feeling well; i’ll be in late”. it’s not that he was ever mistrustful, i was seldom late or absent, but he always had to ask “oh, what’s wrong?”
i would always follow up with the bluntly honest like this fellow and he’d always seem to regret asking… but he’d still ask again the next time it happened.

i’ve never had much of a verbal filter. i like to share.

I’m from the UK, it is the worst word to spell ever. However, you do get a sense of accomplishment when you spell it right first time

Well, it is the only way the Browns will get there.

(So says a Ravens fan).
