Scratched my eyeball. Gonna have an eye patch for a couple of weeks.

The irony isn't lost on me.

Ouch, with a capital AARGH. How did that happen?

We've got this engineering decathlon at my school. During one of the events, while we were using these really fine-metal hooks to build a long chain that could support its own weight over an extremely long span, someone put in some tension where there should have been done and the thing kind of... exploded ( ... )

Please send address so's I know where to send the parrot flowers.

Hope you feel better soon, at any rate.

With my luck, the parrot would pick out the other eye. We all know how I roll with animals.

There's no real bad feeling, except for the brief seconds between opening the eye and administering the eye drops. They actually do a pretty good job of soothing, at least until everything's tucked back in.

Honest truth?

I kind of did that on purpose.

I've heard engineering students can be a bit exuberant. Safety goggle fail re: metal fragment, or did you casually brush your eye with the bit stuck to your hand?

I used to have a cat that got conjunctivitis. Had to smear this cream on eyeball beneath eyelid. If you think feeding a pill to a cat is hard, try putting in eyedrops without blinding the squirming thing. I assume you're a bit less of a problem!

Duct tape, huh? Sounds like redneck velcro wall!

A bit less, yeah.

Not quite sure regarding the mechanism by which I got the piece in my eye. Could have been brushing, could have just gotten in during the small explosion.
