About a year ago, I started having a problem with my right eye. I went to multiple eye doctors before I finally found out that it was caused by my right eyeball swelling. Now apparently I've had the equivalent of "stretch-marks" on my right eyeball, which for me means that I have a permanent shadow in my right-eye vision. This sucks, and has sucked. It makes reading fairly difficult. Add to working on a computer all day. Lately my left has has been acting funky as well, and I'm fucking terrified I'm getting the same thing. If that's the case, I may be close to blind. My right eye is so bad, I can barely make out shapes. Sometimes it clears up, but mostly it's horrible. I don't want to be blind, or lose the ability to read books or work for that matter. I'm not looking forward to the eye doctor on Monday, but I guess you do what you gotta do. Still for now, I'm a bit worried about everything. I'm hoping there's something that can be done with laser surgery or something like that. But first I guess I'll start looking for really good eye specialists around Poland. I've heard there's a good specialist in Krakow, but that will be for the last resort I think. The last thing I want to do is spend money I don't have on eye doctors. Oh well. Otherwise work sucks right now. I'm primarily getting calls from Italians, who are without a doubt the nicest, most annoying, unorganized people on the fucking planet. The only saving grace that they have is that they're extremely nice. I sometimes wish I could find a nice bartending job again. I'm also irritable as I'm attempting to give up smoking (again) and I've gone 9 days without a cigarette. It's getting to the point where I'm pretty ok with it, but when I get a craving it's more intense, just not as often. I want a holiday. But after working on 2 national holidays this week, I've gained an extra 4 days of holiday which I hope to use sooner than later. Must go back to Hell I think.
