John didn't like how much talking we were doing yesterday, so today he had me watching the entrance to the Egypt exhibit. At first I'd panicked because I couldn't find my note packet. But when I got to the information display we'd set up I found my notes tucked away where I'd left them. I'm getting better about knowing how to answer the questions we get asked, so it's no wonder I'd left the notes there. But of course having them is better than not, which is why I was stressing over it.

I don't know if it was that stress or not, but I had another dizzy spell while I was guarding the entrance. Ann was coming to relieve me for my first break, and as she got to the top of the escalator I just about took a nose dive off the railing. The guest I was talking with tried to catch me, but I still crumpled pretty hard against the railing. While my arm hurts even now, I didn't break anything. They moved me to the wall and propped me up against it, I just spent my break there.

The attacks don't last that long, it's not like I was dizzy the whole fifteen minutes, but I didn't want to get up after that. That was scary. After today I don't think I'll be guarding the Egypt display anymore, but John wasn't happy that I couldn't "carry my weight." Whatever.

Beyond that excitement, my day was pretty boring. I did stand guard the rest of the day, a few steps further away from the railing than I had been. It went fine.
