A döner, pronounced doh-ner, is a Turkish fast food sandwich made with a pita and lamb. The pita is usually fresh-baked and the lamb is gyro-style, but shaved directly from a rotating spit while you wait. They are everywhere and Europe's answer to the big mac. I manage to eat one or two a month. Wednesday's döner went horribly awry.

Immediately after lunch I started to feel uncomfortable and it only got worse as my job review approached. Basically the only reason I stayed at work because I did not want to re-schedule. Yes, I sat through my first German review pale, cold, and nauseous. On top of all that, I think I had food poisoning as well. Survived the review (was good) and went home to spend the remainder of the day in bed trying to figure out why my digestive system refused to operate. Turns out it wanted to operate, just against the normal flow.

Thursday was spent in bed and trying to figure out what foods might be edible. Today should probably be spent in bed, but I have some technical translating that requires nothing more than sitting to finish.
