26 yo me went out last night and had some drinks. I guess I'm not as invulnerable as anymore as I used to be.

I wasn't even drunk/tipsy but I poorly hydrated my body the night before (we all know hang-over comes from dehydration).

This morning I woke up generally feeling like absolute shit. Headache, nausea, diarrhea first thing in the morning etc...

I still came to work anyway like a good responsible adult (lol) and even got a LOT of work done this morning. Even trained one of the new hires for 2 hours.

Well I went to grab some Pho for lunch to hydrate myself and it was just a bad bad idea. My body could not handle all that sudden influx of fluid in the body. When I got back from work, my head started to spin. I began to get MASSIVE nausea and almost ran to the private bathroom.

I violently puked about 4 times. All my lunch expelled violently. God it hurt soooooooo much. Then I sat in the very toilet and had diarrhea... pure liquid.

After puking it out... I feel much better now. I'm a little out of it, but at least I'm not actively sick.

Plan on finishing this day at work. Coworkers and bosses have no idea what just happened to me.

& still managing to nef here. :) Wish me luck.

Write this down and bring it up at your next review. They can do nothing but give you a raise for your commitment.

"Sticking it out" would be puking and having diarrhea at your desk and completing your work. I'd label that tenaciousness.

You, on the other hand, are just the result of poor planning. :D

Sounds like a stomach virus.

Puke/crap it ALL out, drink some Gatorade, and get lots of rest. You should be on your feet in 24 hours.

Nah just hung over. I don't know if it's for everyone, but for me when I get hungover, I get nauseous even when I drink fluid.

Salt = mostly electrolytes.
Gatorade = contains electrolytes.

???

LOL it's all about concentration gradients. The electrolytes in gatorade are relatively dilute and are cotransported into the body along w/ the glucose. There is way too much salt in Pho and all you'd do is just rush a lot of water into your GI tract, making you even more dehydrated. I mean think about it, under your logic salty ocean water is just "electrolytes"
