It’s a wonderful thing, the human brain… it can come up with solutions to complicated math problems and, at the same time, make the silliest mistakes ever known to man.
Of course my brain can’t solve much math, but it does some pretty cool things which, compared to what it did today, are quite impressive.
Today I went back to work. Back in town for three meetings.
I thought, of course, I was cured… I thought that having food poisoning was something you could cure by having your dose of diarrhea, drinking a lot of liquids and eating only grilled food with rice for one day. The next day you’re OK, right?
WHY??
I mean: my parents are doctors, they taught me every little detail of how to handle yourself when you’re sick. Why is it that I seem to forget about it when I really need to remember it?
So after the first meeting everything was normal up to the very minute when the cramps began. I couldn’t believe myself… first I left the cream out to rotten for over 24 hours, then I ate it, then I didn’t come home straight away from the “client’s bathroom” incident, then I went back the very next day for some more…
Of course I left again and this time the trip home was even worse… I almost lost it completely while on the ferry crossing the river home. Now I’m better, but I feel terribly ill and I have a slight fever.
Well, at least I’m hoping I will not get tremendously stupid tomorrow and go out again…
