We lost most of our operating team and even some backups! And I obviously couldn't do some critical programming in my condition. It was a very unfortunate situation, that at least hurt my team ...
So, how many of you have horror stories similar to this? Believe me, food poisioning is not a pretty thing ... and three people in 1 room with food poisioning ... well, you get the idea  |
I guess it's assumed everyone knows about it...
I don't think it was food poisoning, it's something called the Nova Virus, it was on the news (us getting infected and all).
I think the majority of people who got sick were those who went to the school of engineering. I base this on the fact that one of our drivers went (the only one on the team who went) and he's the only one who got sick. It might've been the sandwiches they were giving out there. All I have to say is I am VERY glad I did not get it. He was hardcore about it too, he continued with us throughout the day, I think he threw up 8 times in total, it got to the point where he just laughed about it. We even brought a bag with us to the drivers station and I was drilled on how to operate the secondary controls in case I had to take control.
