Day #2: Spitting on the GC Floor


I knew I was in trouble as soon as I tried to swallow and felt the water catch in my throat. This was not going to be pretty. 

I was on a personal tour of the GC (meaning simply that I was the only one that showed up for a regularly scheduled tour time) and my guide and I had just exited the Hope Channel portion of the building when I decided I was thirsty enough to need a drink of water. Lifting my water bottle to my lips I took in a big gulp and there began my trouble. 

Before I could do anything else I was hacking while trying to hold in a mouthful of water while rushing quickly to the nearest bathroom (luckily it was just around the corner). The holding it in part didn’t exactly work . . . so as I’m rushing I’m also gushing water on the floor (okay . . . so it wasn’t quite gushing but close enough . . . haha). I was mortified. Here I am on my second day of work, spitting up water all over the GC floor. 

Actually looking back it was hilarious . . . but at the moment, it was so embarrassing! I was thankful my guide was a kind lady who took it all in stride. Haha. Fun times. 

Despite spitting up on the floor, they still issued me a badge. lol
