awkward

[cassidyrose]

We just moved floors in our building at work. As usual, I am very sick to my stomach today. I went into the kitchen/break area to eat an apple, drink some water and concentrate on not puking again. A man from another company came in to make coffee and was trying to ask me which company I was with, what we do, etc. I could barely explain, nor make small talk, not to mention my throat is thrashed from puking so my voice is weird. I am just sick and uncomfortable and don't want to chat or explain the work I do. What is proper etiquette? "I'm sorry sir, I'm pregnant and sick and all my concentration is focused on not throwing-up on your shoes right now, so I cannot competently discuss my company's products right now." OK, probably not, but it is what I wanted to say. Instead, we had an awkward, stilted conversation and I feel kind of bad. Ah well...
