Ominous
This has not been a great Monday. Some of it I'll leave for a Tales from Cubeland post, but this? This is for here. At lunchtime, for what appears to be no reason at all, I got a blister on my eyeball. Right in the white of my eye, just below the bit that actually does the seeing, and brings the ladies a running. A blister, full of a shiny, yellow fluid. After an eye wash (not pleasant at all let me tell you) and having my eye irrigated, I was feeling only marginally better. Mainly it felt like having a large, and rather warm eyelash in my eye. My head was filled of talk of beams and motes.
On the way to dinner I passed by a Crenshaw funeral. It was ... odd. Lots of young casually dressed kids standing in front of a Baptist storefront church drinking oilcans of malt liquor. Surreal.
In a seemingly unrelated incident I had dinner with two Jens, and then drinks after with two Steves. A sign of the impending Apocalypse? Only in the context of the news from Faceless Corporation.

Interesting, I had two Erics & two Mikes at my house yesterday all at once. One of the Mikes & one of the Erics even share a last name though they're not related.

Hey I was doing a pretty good job using that joke in context!
As for the same last name - well Sal, wheels within wheels within wheels. We are all in the thrall of these "coincidences". Lock your doors!

The exact same thing happened to me once. The eye thing, not the Jen-Steve thing. Though I do know three other Saimas if that counts.

Only if you were all in the same room at some point. Now that'd be something!

Ouch! Eyeball blister!
Stop blinking so much.

But blinking is part of my ergo!
