Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Co-Workers, outta my way! ATTACK AT WORK!

Hello all,
Well, it's happened to me again! Another attack in an unpleasant situation. If you remember, the last bad attack I had out in public was at the mall - which I thought was bad enough - but today it struck at an even worse time: While I was working!
As I have been moaning about lately, I have suddenly gotten attacks of liquid D and am trying to stabalise. I had to go to work today, though, and I didn't realise that it was an England Football day today. England Football = Very busy pubs! So when I got to work and found out, I knew I would have a helluva time going home if I needed to. So I started working, and felt suprisingly fine.. for about an hour. All of a sudden.. well, you all know.. the cramps and rumblings, and 'uh oh' feeling and told a girl to watch my tables while I was up to the bathrooms.
Without going into too much detail, it was bad. I was cramping up so badly that I started crying and panicking in the stall. Eventually, it finally stopped and I went back to work. My plan was to just go home, but I am so scared of asking to leave, or calling in sick that when I passed my boss and he said, "How are you doing?" (he didn't know I wasn't feeling well, just saying hi) I just said, "Good, you?" and carried on! I took an immodium, even though I have been trying not to since last time it sent me to such bad C, which resulted in even worse D... oy...
So I went back to work, and had quite the terrible day. The guys here seem to just turn idiot while watching football and really annoyed me all day. They kept knocking into me on purpose, getting in my way, stealing drinks off my tray... I have to say that I used up my entire swearing quota for the year today until they finally backed off. I am not a nice girl at work sometimes!
By the time it was time to go home, I was exhausted and so annoyed!
Am at home now, feeling a bit better but still irritable. I have to go into work tomorrow -on my day off- at 10 AM to have a 2 hour training session! I have been waitressing for soooo long, and I am going to get trained by a girl who has been working in pubs for 4 months! I know it's a stupid thing to be mad about, but I have been feeling so crappy and could have used that day to just sleep in and not think about work but instead I have to go in and have someone tell me how to serve drinks, when I've been doing it since I was legally allowed to work! <-- Uh, sorry, didn't mean to get into a bit of a rant there..

Still haven't heard anything from my police admin job, though so I will go my stupid training session, and go back in again on Monday and keep swearing at customers because we are allowed to, customer service isn't what it is in North America!

Anyway, cross your fingers for me that I'll be D free tomorrow, at least until my training is done and I can come back home to boyfriend and bed and computer! Hope you're all having a good weekend!
