My eyes hurt.
I cried so much yesterday that my eyes just are refusing to play along and let me put my contacts in. I hate wearing glasses to work.

Anyone have any visine that they could share with a fellow DUer?!

10. You're welcome and....
I hope my thread you locked didn't aggravate the situation either. You can delete it entirely if it was totally out of line. I have no problem with that. How's things going so far today BTW?

12. Eh- that wasn't a problem!
Your thread was no problem. I just lacked the ability to think of a funny locking message, and I apologize to all of the lounge lizards for the standard "sex thread" comment!

Things are going ok so far- other than trying to get to work. I may just work in my pajamas from home this morning. How's your day going so far?

14. My day is going pretty good and the reason why is...
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 09:47 AM by DaveTheWave
I gave my office a two week notice on Monday so nobody wants to piss me off in the meantime as I can always walk out any time I feel like it now. I thought about doing what you are considering today, work at home again. I do computerized drafting and I used to sub-contract rather than work for a company. It was great. Get up around 9 - 10am, not even get dressed, put on some coffee and work 8 - 10 hours and not even realize it. No clients, bosses or other co-workers bothering me, at a modest guess I'd say I could do about 30% more work at home than I do at an office. Even got more time to get online for a minute or two at a time. Save gas, the environment, my sanity, etc. :)

3. Yikers!
Sounds like you also need to put a hot towell over your eyes for a while. Close you eyelids first, of course. That may not make putting the contacts in any easier, but it might make you more comfortable in other ways.

5. Thanks-I'll try this.
Hopefully I'll get some tears back. (Never thought I'd say that last night!!!)

4. OK, I'm being facetious in this post, you've been forewarned
but WHY do girls do this? You post a question about visine as a thinly veiled excuse to get people to give you sympathy and ask why you were crying

As a guy I would've just posted: "Ask me why I'm crying and feel sorry for me n/t" :D

Oh, and cheer up :)

8. actually, no- long story- I have no interest in telling the story
and the sympathy would have been useful last night. Today I just want to get to work.
Please don't feel sorry for me- but if you absolutely have to, then you're a good guy! - oh, and thanks!

Ahhhh... one contact in. There's hope! :bounce:

9. actually I don't know whether to feel sorry for you
since many times a good cry is cathartic :)

15. Awww ~ I'm sorry.

I'd be glad to share my visine with you. Why don't you try a cool damp washcloth laying lightly across your eyes for a few minutes while I get the visine.
