Learned a new word today

Boss' boss is here, had team dinner yesterday.

Went in early again today. Didn't slept well, and with the constant stress lately, was (and still am) having irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

So I went to the toilet fairly early in the morning, around the time when the cafe started to serve breakfast.

When I came out of the toilet, saw a few colleagues hovering around my cubicle, they were looking for me to go breakfast and wondered if I had gone ahead myself.

I explained that my stomach was acting up, and one of them asked if it's due to the beer yesterday night?

I told him that I don't drink, and he said, "ah, teetotaller."

First time hearing that word so I asked for the meaning and spelling, he looked it up on the web, and showed it to me. And that's how I got to learn a new word today. =)

Teetotaller, noun, a person who completely abstains from alcoholic beverages.

Yes, never stop learning.
