Things I know now that I didn't a few days ago:
1. I am flying to Canada on Sunday. This is a good thing, as I thought I was flying on Monday until my Aunt emailed me to ask me if I was still coming on Sunday and I checked the dates.
2. I have 7 stitches in each eye. This was news to me. I thought I only had one in the right eye. I had retinal surgery a few years back which involved, amongst other things, putting bands in my eyes. I got these removed as they were uncomfortable and ASSuMEd they removed the stitches at the same time. They don't. They just cut them.
3. The one stitch I knew about because it was visible - I seem to see a lot better without it. I went to an opthamologist a couple of days ago for a check up and, though he couldn't get it out, he snipped off the visible parts. I didn't realise how uncomfortable it actually was to have it in there until he'd removed it. Tho it's too early to be sure, it appears to have got rid of a slight perception problem I had where, if I looked at you and someone walked behind you, I could get slight double vision of that person.
Yesterday was an up and down sort of day. We have cakes on Friday afternoon and it was my turn to buy them. I am like a kid in a candy store when I am in a candy store so I went a bit overboard but was very popular as a result.
On the flipside, me and my male officemate were having a joke with our female officemate about how we suspected her boyfriend was going to propose to her that night (long story). This was 'all gravy' until my male officemate mentioned it to someone else, who mentioned it to someone else and she thought it had gone too far, which sucked as it's not nice to piss people off, especially not if you work with them.
I also got into a disagreement with a senior colleague who I get on really well with. It was just a techy point on some advice we were doing. It's a tough call because she was wrong but I couldn't convince her. At the end of the day you have to let go because she is senior and it's her call, but you have to have a good go at convincing her. I think I pitched it right, but she got a bit tetchy, uttering the immortal words 'fine I give in' (tho she still missed the point). Things like that get to me...
If you read to the end of that, award yourself a small yellow kitten.
