Wandering Aimlessly

...from today, I will be in SUNNY FLORIDA! I canNOT wait. I need a vacation more than anything at the moment. And I can't wait to set foot in the Land of the Mouse. Hey C, we're still hitting Disney that Thursday, yes? I neeeeeed my shot of WDW. It's like a drug. I also can't wait to see all my Orlando friends!

Today was Casual Day at work, which was great fun. No jeans, but I got to wear khaki capris and a red button-down over a tank top. And tennis shoes! I got to wear tennis shoes!

This helped greatly after my, um, irritatedness over the whole "can't take a sick day, must take a vacation day to go to the doctor" ordeal. Did I write about that? Can't remember. I usually don't post work stuff, but what the heck. It's fact. I hurt my eye on Saturday. Scratched my cornea. While I was at work. It hurt like HELL. Like nothing I have felt in my memory. But I had to stay at work, because I was meeting Sarah afterwards for lunch.

Anywho, everyone there knew I had hurt my eye, but my boss was not in on Sat. The doctor was also not open over the weekend. So on Monday, I came in and told my boss what had happened. She was all sympathetic. I also called the doctor to see if I needed to go in (not knowing that I had scratched my cornea... just knowing that my eye had hurt like hell). They wanted me in at 10 am. I said I couldn't... they wanted me in at 3:30. Since I had gotten to work at 7:40, if I didn't take a lunch, I would have had 7 hours in by 2:45 when I would need to leave to make it to the doctor by 3:30. My boss would not let me go.

The only appointment on Tuesday was at 12:30, so to get there, have the appt, and go back to work, it would take about 3 hours out of my day. Well, my boss told me I would have to take the day off. But not as a sick day, oh no. I would have to take a vacation day for it. Even though I told her I thought going to the eye doctor's for a semi-emergency visit perfectly qualified as a sick day, she said that if I had a regular day off this week (which I didn't, because we have a holiday tomorrow for the 4th, and the extra day off was added to my vacation accrual), I could use it for the doctor, but since I didn't have that day, I would just have to take one from my vacation time. I told her it wasn't like I was doing anything fun (kind of joking, ya know?) and she said "We don't always do fun things on our days off." Right. So. That was that. Vacation day to go to the doctor. Wheee! I love my job!!!

Have I mentioned that I CAN'T WAIT TO GO TO FLORIDA?!?!?!?!
