Ways to Avoid Vomiting on the Way to Work.

1) Limit intake of ipecacuanha.

2) Do not consider the "but I'm a priestess sworn to chastity" scene in Troy.

3) Do not get distracted by a discussion of zombie invasion surival tactics while drinking petite syrah to overcome flu-like symptoms (feed a fever, drown the 'flu), look at the clock, indulge in profanity, note that to reach work on time one must achieve a personal best for the three mile run that one set in a previous millenium, meditate on the nature of this Kierkegaardian either/or (stupid red wine), and decide to go for it rather than taking the obvious step of calling ahead to let them know one will be ten--better make it fifteen--minutes late.
