My job sucks more than yours

[Drunk Monk]

I caught a metal splinter in my eye when working a grinder at AFS. I had my goggles on (as teh PPFY might remember, I was fairly anal about my goggles). The splinter must have flew up in through the air vents. I remember feeling it go in. I thought I got it out and went home, but it got worse and worse until I simply had to go to the ER. The PA who helped me was a stunning beauty, like some one off ER or Grey's Anatomy. She anestehtized my eye, then took a hypo needle to flick out the metal splinter just like you might an ordinary splinter, while my head was self-stablized against this brace and it took all my willpower to keep my eye steady and open. If I close my eyes, I can still see this gorgeous women coming at me with a hypo needle to my eye.

I was wearing full on AO safety goggles. For the record, I wear those 'designer' AO safety sunglasses as casual wear. They're cheap, durable and give me the protection I need from sun and allergens.
