Today, I fucked up.
It's been a long time since I had an eye exam (I'm stubborn about doctors in general and have no particular complaints about my eyes) and the glasses I once wore - for a slight astigmatism in my left eye only - have long since given me a headache whenever I put them on.
However, the company I work for now has an amazing benefits package, and having already taken advantage of them to get my health and my teeth checked, I figured my eyes would benefit from the same care. And after all, it seems like glasses are cool again.
I call the most reputable local ophthalmologist and try to schedule an appointment. "No problem," they say. "But our next appointment is about three weeks out."
"That's fine," I say. "My work schedule isn't finalized that far out so I can still request off whenever you have an availability."
I finalize the details, and go on about my day. I later remember to go online to submit my time-off request. I specify the date and the reason for my absence.
I got an email an hour or so later and went to read it. The Time Off Request was approved (!) for 4/20/2015 (all day). In the comments field, from my lead manager: "Yes, I hear pink eye is especially common this time of year. Good luck."
I just requested vacation time for 4/20. Most of the people I work with are huge stoners, but we're all consummate professionals so NO one talks about it. Subtle, me. Fucking subtle.
