So I finally outted myself at work about my emetophobia. I only did it because I sensed that everyone was weirded out by the fact that as soon as I hear, "so and so called in sick" I ask 30 million questions about why they called in.
Anyway, on Sunday the host of our show (I work for a tv shopping network) turned his mic off and sighed, "This is soooo boring and I am going crazy. I need a vacation.". To which I responded (I'm his PA), "Great. Where are we going?".
He said, "Let's rent a cruise ship and we'll all go on a month long cruise."
I gave him a funny look and said, "No way am I going on a cruise! Everyone knows that sv's seem to be attracted to cruise lines and spread liie wildfire! Are you trying to kill me? Do you want to watch me go totally catatonic?". He laughed.
So for me it is a triumph to be able to joke about my irrational fear of catching an sv and v*.
