Had the weirdest episode at work today. The day started with our usual meeting from 9-10 am, which was fine. At the end of it, I took a chocolate bar from the bowl on Noah's desk, which might have been the problem, I don’t know.
At 10:30 am, I was super sleepy (unusual at that hour; I normally get sleepy in the afternoon) and my stomach wasn’t feeling great. By 11:30 it had progressed to a full-on roiling gut. I got up to use the restroom thinking that might be the issue (it wasn’t) and discovered I was lightheaded. Walking was challenging. All the lights in the hallway were too bright and strangely glittery. I didn’t feel hot, but I was noticeably sweating.
I felt sufficiently bad that I considered just telling everyone I was sick and going home. However, I wasn’t sure I could make the 15-minute walk to the train station. What if I needed to take a rest or urgently needed to use the restroom on the way there? So I stayed put.
By 12:45, the episode had mostly passed. My stomach still hurt, but not badly. Walking was fine. I was hungry for lunch, which I considered a good sign. I left for lunch, deliberately taking it easy during my walk, and didn’t encounter any problems. I was fine for the rest of the day.
Still, what was that?
