This morning, I was honored to be on a remote panel for World Con.
I logged in and went to the space where you check your camera and mic. I adjusted the lighting, talked to the cats, and then admonished myself: “You haven’t had diarrhea for a couple of days, so of course you’re going to do it this morning.”
I went to the bathroom, took some anti-diarrheal medicine, came back and hit “join.”
Only then could I see a private message sent from the poor tech person responsible for our panel:
Of course that’s how it goes.
Also, this being Murphy’s Life, you can’t go for more than about 2 days without diarrhea, probably, so It Was Time 😛 Especially for something important!
(Don’t get me started on that topic when I have to go to the bathroom in large costumes.)
