company "puke-mas" party

wednesday we had our district meeting for Farm Bureau Insurance out at lake fork. there were close to a couple of hundred people there and it was really a lot of fun. we left at about 1pm that afternoon and i had a really bad headache and of course no one had any tylenol. we ended up getting there around 3pm and i had been absolutely miserable the whole trip. as we were pulling into the country club the road got really curvy and i just knew that i was going to puke any second. when we stopped i got out of the truck and took off to the woods across the parking lot. luckily, the fresh air helped out a lot and i dodged a bullet.

we went in to the party and everything was set up like a casino and we got to play for a chance to win prizes and money. it was really a lot of fun. we ended up leaving about 7pm that night and they all offered for me to ride in the front seat of the truck, and i gladly accepted. there was a point on the ride back that i could actually feel my face moving with every curve in the road. it was then that i realized that this was not going to end well. finally it came, i started tapping on the dash as i took off my seat belt and leapt out of the truck as fast as i could. my mouth was already half-way full by the time i hit the ground and then it began to flow like a flood. as i finished i looked up and realized that every agent in the county was staring at me puking on the side of the road. so, to relieve the awkward tension i let out a loud "WWWWOOOOOOOO, YEAH!!!". and then the endless ribbing and poking fun began, my manager told me that i would forever be remembered as the guy who puked on his first district meeting trip. it's a good thing i don't embarrass easily about that kind of thing or i would have had to ride home in the back of the truck. i'll just chalk it up as another funny story that i have to tell at our next district christmas party.
