I went to the optometrist today to get new contacts but instead got a diagnosis of conjunctivitis, which apparently is doctor-talk for pinkeye. It’s not as fun as you’d imagine because now I can’t wear contacts for an extra 10-14 days, and I was really looking forward to ending my space cadet period where I couldn’t respond to peoples’ facial expressions because I couldn’t make them out. But since I can’t keep my gross, grimy fingers out of my sissy eyeballs, now I get to be autistic until christmas! good times.
(I do have glasses but when I first got them 7 years ago someone *cough*keenan*cough* told me that they made me look like a librarian and my bruised 16 year old ego has kept them off my face since. and i won’t buy new ones because that’s a lot of money to drop for something to put on my frame-unfriendly face. And my life is sooooo hard. I should probably complain more.)
As a follow up to my last post about emotional territorialism, today I had the privilege of observing two of my coworkers receive condescending lectures by a completely misinformed person and respond in the most classy way ever. I was really inspired. The person trying to call the shots never really caught onto the actual hierarchy of knowledge/badassness, but who cares. They didn’t. As far from ideal a location as Durham is, I am totally unconvinced that I’d find a better team to work with anywhere else. They’re really great; I hope their awesomeness rubs off on me.
Oh no! Did I really say that?
There’s nothing wrong with librarians. Without them books would just be thrown into big piles.
