After roughly 48 hours of feeling like death, including two nights' trying to sleep and only getting weird hallucinations, I have returned to the land of the living.
The doc said it was the Norwalk virus and not food poisoning, but I'm staying away from the Culver's in Portage just to be on the safe side. Your cheap Snack Pack meals won't have me pooing my insides out again. I reserve the right to change my mind in regard to getting fried cheese curds there only.
Since I was off work for two days, I'm going to have to work the weekend to make up for it. So, no progress on Project $300. Damn.

Almost a shame you can't justify the "I told you I was sick" by giving your cow-orkers a dose of the dread lurgey as well. Are you sure you're not contagious, still?

Bro, the Norovirus is not a fucking joke. Knocked me and my whole family out for a solid week in February this year. It took me two more weeks to feel 100%.
If you feel fine tomorrow, it probably wasn't the norovirus.

Euggh. Been there, pooped that. Hey, at least you didn't have to get three colonoscopies like I did (and I'm not even 20...)

Sick from Culvers? Some Wisconsonite you are.

I only got 2 bags of saline and 3 anti-nausea injections.

I'm still sore all over, but I'm functional. I'm not barfing or pooping everywhere.
I've always had a strong constitution though - if it was food poisoning it's the first time I've ever gotten it.

Pretty sure I'm not contagious anymore.
Actually got yelled at by the boss today. There was a team-building meeting in Madison today at 10am for an hour. It takes me an hour to get to Madison. He mentioned it on the 10am conference call. I went "oh.... shit."

Fuckin' Butterburger Deluxe snackpack, man. If it was the Culver's, it was probably the veggie bullshit (tomato, lettuce, onion) they put on the burger. That'll teach me for trying to eat healthier. Should've got the mushroom and swiss.

Also, Norovirus often has a round two, so pepper your angus for that possibility. Hopefully it was just the Culvers.

No way to get a doctor's note that says "chump nearly died, yo", I assume. Nor any way to transmit plague over the phone line.

I've got the doctor's notes and everything. But because I'm okay today I should've been at the meeting today.

*Magically*, you were supposed to remember this. How were you supposed to know you'd be okay today, anyway (for a given value of okay)?
Team-building? Yeah, make the possibly contagious guy drive an hour marinating in germs and then run him in with everybody for something that is utterly pointless in the first place. Uh, no?

Well, to be fair he did send an email about it before I got sick (which I read)... and added it to the digital calendar on my work tablet (which I haven't checked in 2 days)... and left a voicemail about (which I also haven't checked in 2 days).
He didn't mention it to me when I talked to him on the phone yesterday to let him know I was still out of commission, though.
It's not like it was a "written up" yelled at, just getting chewed out. I been chewed out before.
