Allergic to Work?

It's a CRAZY thought...but I think it all the time. Not in an "I'm too lazy to get my fat ass out of the bed and go to work" way, but in a "I feel perfectly fine until I get to work", way.

Let me explain:

Five days a week my peepers look like this before I leave for work:

(Not my Peeper)

Within minutes of getting into the office (or to a department store)

My "Windows to the Soul" look like this:

(Not my Peeper, either..but looks pretty damn close)

And I do this ALL E'ffing day long:

And to top it off...this is not a good 'old seasonal issue ~ it happens all year long. I went to the eye doc a year ago and he said my eyes were just dehydrated and I needed to use XYZ-eye-lubricant-of-the-moment. So I drowned myself in H2O and squirted XYZ eye lub in the eyes. It helped...for a while.

A few months ago I went to my family doc - she asked me,

"What seems to be the problem today"?

I thought 'How the hell can you not see when I'm looking at you with theses?

I pointed to my eyes and responded, "uh..they hurt, feel swollen, are are red...ALL.THE.TIME"

For that I got a teensie-tiny eye drop that even with insurance cost me $50!

They worked for as long as the drops lasted.

Ugh..and double UGH!!

I stopped at Walmart Hell this morning on the way to work and grabbed allergy pills that swear on their Great-Granny's, brother-in-law's, next door neighbor's, cousin that they work for Itchy Watery eyes. They don't water so much but they sure itch!

When I get home in the late afternoon...they clear up!

Coninkydink?

I think not!
