Work Shit 

This is a shit one takes at work. This type of shit is usually caused by a late night of drinking or a poorly planned fast food lunch. usually occurs on the busiest day of work when work needs done, and never on the days that work is slow. When this occurs, the boss usually inquires about your constant bowel movements which pisses him off and embarasses you in the workplace. Not Fun!
Boss: Jesus Christ Jim, you've been in the shitter a long time today, are you fine?

Jim: Yes I am boss, except I ate the chili from Wendys from lunch today and Ive got work shit from it.

Boss: Understandable. Now get to work.
