So I have this disease called Addison’s. It is the body’s lack of self production of cortisol/cortison. Think diabetes but not as intense but kinda as deadly. So I feel really nauseous waking up and usually throw up a few times before I get into the getting which never bothers me because I am quite used to it after a bunch of years. I just use some mouthwash to try to give my teeth a pat on the back like “I got you”. Well today I threw up just before going to work and washed my mouth and gargled, spit it out, picked up my coworker and drove over to the site. We walked in and signed in and did the normal and usual breath test and it said I failed. That’s when I realized it could affect the machine… My buddy next to me patted my shoulder and went; "never use it in the morning close to working hours. I always do nights before bed. "

TL:DR Today I F:ed up not realizing mouthwash would show up on a breath test. Like a true idiot. And yes, I probably got fired for it. 🤦🤦🤦
