pinkeye

you might remember pinkeye from kindergarten. little candy-apple sticky fingers stuck in noses, mouths, eyes...waking up the next day like a giant insect took a gooey crap on your eyelids. yep.

but i'm an adult now; i had to go get my 0.3% ofloxacin drops all by myself, and remember to administer them appropriately. on the bottle it says 'store at 25 C, excursions permitted.' so i guess that means if i want to go to the park, or on a picnic, i can take my little bottle too.

i also get to wear my "OSHA-approved prescription glasses" (pictured above) with detachable chemical shields, mandatory in the laboratory. i work in the laboratory. so i wear these all day. it's like a pocket protector for your face. only geekier. the glasses and shields are genuine; the foolhardy grin is not.
