I woke up yesterday feeling nauseous, so I spent the morning lying in bed watching The Godfather instead of going to work. Then I realized that I had some important stuff to take care of and that I had to go to work anyway. At least for a couple of hours.
Almost as soon as I sat down at my desk my phone rang. It was one of my friends.
Him: Hey man, how are you doing?
Me: Not so great. I've been sick today.
Him: Really? What do you have?
Me: Nothing major. I think I just ate something that didn't agree with me last night.
Him: Was it semen?
Me (dryly): No.
Him: Oh, that's right. That agrees with you.
Me: You're such a dick. What do you want?
And in case you're upset about the cliff-hanger ending, we went on to talk about a bunch of work related stuff. I figured I'd spare you the boring details of that.
ReplyDeleteI told my Dr I was nauseous when I was pregnant with my son...he informed me that I was nauseated...not nauseous.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to say nauseous anyway.
It just sounds better.
It's one of those words I used to make up when I lived in Manila...
apparently I'm not the only who picked up the bad habits of making up words...
Your doctor must be a retard... :)
