having a morning of absolute misery because my allergy meds were late and so my right eye is all irritated ... including the bump on the underside of the top eyelid where I once got a piece of titanium shaving embedded in it, so that now whenever it gets turned the wrong way or my allergies kick off, I spend all day feeling like I've got something in my eye but absolutely cannot remove it.
Why do I have a piece of titanium shaving in my eye? Well because I worked in a titanium casting plant when I was younger, and they didn't provide eye protection that fit properly over my glasses. I actually have two pieces of titanium shaving in my eyes, one in the eyelid causing the aforementioned problem, and one in the eye itself which sometimes manifests as a black spot at the corner of my field of vision.
That's two permanent eye injuries from one stupid job that lasted a grand total of like two months, but sure, go ahead and tell me how my generation "doesn't want to work" and unions "stifle innovation" or whatever the fuck.
