Home 5 days and...

...I get a ulcer on my eye. Yeah, I didn't know that was possible. But believe me, it is. I also have the conjunctivitis - you know "pink eye." Now for those of you who have seen "Knocked Up" that will be disgusting, but I assure you I got it in conjunction with my eye ulcer by falling asleep on my couch with my contacts still in. That coupled with a bad pollen day, and a contractor at work who is screwing up so badly that I have to sacrifice my own well being in order to get her to just do what she was asked to do in the first place.

We have a serious listening problem in the country. Even people I like, and like to work with seem to be having a difficult time hearing and retaining information. I am starting to think that it is due to the advent of instant mass communication. Why remember something if you can just pick up a cell phone and ask the question again? Why write it down if you have saved on you email? Because you will piss off people like me who don't like to answer the same question a hundred times. I gave you that answer, information, or directions - why must I now be on call for you to give it again? I have moved on to other work, do your job.

Anyway, I can't drive or really leave the house today. And that sucks. However the Vicodin does not suck and my eye already looks better. And I have A Bright Room Called Day to thank for the practice in using only one eye - but the damn Rite Aid didn't have eye patches, so I don't look cool - I look like some one stabbed me in the eye.
