State of emergency

It was a big day for me today. The culmination of 2 years work and I was presenting it to the CEO, the MDs and the directors. Unfortunately I was really sick. I think a combination of whiskey after dinner last night (but that's not unusual), a crab salad, stress and tiredness. It took me 5 hours from getting up to getting to the office. I couldn't keep anything down, not even water. I went in to do my 2 hour presentation without any food or fluid inside me. I felt wretched. Thank goodness I was being willed on by friends. I perked up once I got going.

I was tempted to leave after I had finished but there is too much to do. So instead, I ditched my evening networking and went home at 6 instead. Let's call that a half day shall we?

This of course is an emergency blip.
