Red eye

I had to wear my glasses today instead of contact lenses, thanks to last night's itchy eye that graduated to a watery eye by this morning, and dried (somewhat) into a simply red eye by the time I got to work.

This is only the second time I've ever worn my glasses to work. It provoked the following reactions:

"You look very diligent, like a university sorority girl."

"Out partying, hah?"

!!!

I blame the first remark on the fleece jacket I was wearing, to keep my blood circulating in my cubicle's Arctic climate. But that didn't stop me from informing the speaker that the stereotypical sorority girl is not diligent and also, I don't want to be a sorority anything, thankyouverymuch.
