If you dislike sunglasses, how about two tinted monocles? If you're not easily surprised, that is.

[Thecard]

I dunno, the only complements I ever get are about my eyes. I've been trying to practice bouncing my attention back-and-forth from one eye to the other, so as to maintain eye contact the whole time.

But I probably should start wearing sunglasses, at least when it could be appropriate.

[Graknorke]

My eyes wander. As in, like my brain, I'm quite incapable of keeping them focused on one thing for any period of time. It makes reading quick, but if I'm talking to people I'll only occasionally look them in the eye. In a group, I end up staring at everyone for a few moments. If they notice me then, they assume I've been doing it for minutes.
This can happen to multiple people almost-simultaneously, and I've managed to creep out whole groups one-by-one over the course of a minute.

I thought it was normal to look at the different people in a conversation?

Anyway, I just finished The Walking Dead the game. Fucking hell.

[Neonivek]

Which walking dead game? The good one or the ok one?

When I say "wander" I mean "wander".
Seriously, it's not on purpose. I try to focus, it doesn't work.

The 2012 one. I didn't even know there were multiple.

Thunder storms and rain. Makes me feel all mopy.

Went to the doctor today, he thinks I have asthma. So now I have $400 worth of medication (only $85 with my insurance) on my desk, and a doctor's note for the appointment that I am not certain my employer will accept. Sadly, they have reason to be extremely suspicious of medical paperwork nowadays, as they fired 5 people recently for forged papers.

[Descan]

And bringing the medication to prove it won't help? Usually they have a date on them, don't they?

[Lord Shonus]

Probably would, except that they've become extremely particular about what's allowed. You can't, for example, bring in an official ER slip signed by a nurse. It has to be at least an MD. It's not likely that I'll have trouble, but the possibility exists enough to worry me.

So, I'm hiding in shame after making a drunken ass of myself last time I went out in public.  I didn't really see it that way at first, but it's pretty apparent now.

At least it took longer into my life than I thought it would to reach this stage, and I didn't actually offend anybody.  I mean, unless my cheese slipped totally off my cracker and I'm repressing memories or something stupid.

Depends on the size of where you work, but if it's just an average office building, that number seems high enough for me to be suspicious of foul play not from the employees, but the company.

It can't be any worse than the time my friend got Paranoid Drunk at a Halloween Party, got lost while walking home, and started drunk-dialing his friends and exes, worried that the Cops were going to arrest him because he had a fake bottle of Vicodin as part of his House MD costume. I went out onto campus on foot, gradually pieced together where he was (he had no idea) and walked him home to my place. He was complaining loudly into the night about how he "hadn't gotten laid in a year", and started telling me how I was "just the best", and almost managed to disappear into another party for long enough to get another drink (he said he was going to pee behind the dumpster, but he is apparently a crafty drunk). I finally got him back to my place, and convinced him to lie down on the couch for a bit and sleep.

A few minutes into his nap, he bolted up, and vomited whatever he'd been drinking all over my carpet, couch, and himself. Then went back to sleep in it.
