Icky body stuff.

gridloreIBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Real common in people who've gone through chemotherapy, especially those who have lymphomas. One of the little gifts Hodgkins left me.
In short, my digestive tract is like a high schooler who tries to do his entire term paper the night before it is due. I can go for days with nothing, then all of a sudden, I spend hours in the little reading room, cursing the poorly built human body.
IBS can be triggered by sudden changes in emotion and stress. Changes in diet can do it as well.
Think getting the job caused a sudden change in stress?
How about waking up suddenly last night realizing I hadn't asked if I was supposed to be at work at 0500 or 1700? All she said was 5 to 8. Yes, panicking over what was probably nothing, but another radical mood change.
All I got to say is I better be done by 1600, so I can shower and get ready for work.
