You never learn to be careful until you hit a problem that could compromise your career

That is exactly what happened to me today. I woke up this morning and my eyes were a touch sore. By the time I got to work, they were giving me a bit of grief. (Hence the frequent trips to the bathroom to wash my eyes and apply a makeshift compress - wet paper towel) I mentioned this to Katie during this morning's meeting and she suggested I get my eyes examined at some point. After a few years of putting off an eye exam, I decided make an appointment with an optometrist.
At first, the plan was to see one in Liverpool. When I went out to grab a new internet voucher, I walked past an OPSM store near the office. So now I have an appointment for tomorrow during my lunch break. *relief*
(make that *relief* x 100 if the results of tomorrow's appointment are okayish)
