Post 003 - Passing Out In Public Is Pretty Embarrassing

So, I passed out at work today... in front of a customer. Embarrassing.

I was checking someone out, and I got dizzy. My head started spinning and I got what I call "sparkly vision" where everything gets grayed out on the edges. I asked one of my co-workers to finish checking her out, and I went to sit down. My manager went to get me some water and I was left up there pretty much alone. Then this lady came up to the copy center and I had to get up (as much as I didn't want to...) to take care of her. I turned around, grabbed the white-out, and reached down and... I blacked out. For maybe 2 seconds, but still.

When I came to, I heard the lady yelling, "Help! Help!" My aunt, who works at the store with me, was holding me up. (Maybe I was out longer than 2 seconds? Because she must have run over there pretty damn fast.)

Everyone made me drink water and eat crackers and whatnot.

For the rest of the day:
"Are you okay?"

"Yes. For crying out loud. I am FINE." For the most part. Sheesh.
