If so, please come tell me!
Out with boss earlier, and felt a bit ropey. Managed to get him to pull over and get out of the car before throwing up all over the pavement (and my shoes).

Thank you to the lovely people who checked i was OK and if I needed water.

Had to then get back in the car, and go back to work. How long til the whole office know???

I don't travel well, and feel for you!

One of my front teeth fell out during a 1:1 today, to say I was beyond mortified would be an understatement, I now look like a criminal troglodyte........ my sister told me i looked like a criminal troglodyte on a normal day, laughed at me and demanded pictures! (Emergency dentist appointment at 9am tomorrow!)

I'm a paramedic and once threw up in the back of the ambulance whilst blue lighting a very unwell patient into A&E... patient was time critical so couldn't pull over or get another crew to take over and crewmate at the time was a student so couldn't be in the back withan emergency.... still to this day have no idea what happened, was absolutely fine right before and wasn't unwell again afterwards... been on the road for over 10 years, so definitely no issues with travel sickness normally.

Travel sickness or bug?

Depends what your boss is like to if it gets out or not. My boss would probably tell their second (my other boss) but it wouldn't go further. Second would be told to keep 'an eye on me'. That's if they didn't drive me straight home themselves. All done out of concern.

If your boss is a gossip, it's already out. I give it 1 shift before it's back to you. 😂

Not today, in fact 20 odd years ago, but I was travelling back from a work meeting with a colleague as a passenger. Snow hit and we got stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway. I needed a wee and had to leave the car and crouch down near the hard shoulder. Mortifying!

Boss is a gossip..... Everyone else in the office reports to me.
Travel sick, I think. I've was fine once out of the car.

@StinkerTroll I hope the dentist can sort you out, and doesn't break the bank whilst doing do.

Edit: he did ring me later in the afternoon to check up on me. He's a good egg, but gossipy one - and did offer to drive me home and collect me tomorrow morning to collect my car.
