How Do I Get Hazard Pay?

Teachers need hazard pay. My eyesight suddenly started getting bad - my eyes become unfocused, I can't see things close to me and I've been getting horrible headaches. I went to the eye doctor Friday night and discovered that I need glasses. Again. I had eye surgery as a child to correct an eye disorder and wore glasses until I was about 12, in which my eye doctor said I don't need glasses again. The last eye appointment was three years ago and my eyes were ok. But Friday I found out that I have slight astigmatism and am now far-sighted. I ordered glasses, but have to wait 7 to 10 days for them. I can't see, so I can't grade papers until I get my glasses and my headaches are not going away. I was supposed to be in class tonight, but I bailed after 20 minutes because I couldn't see and therefore couldn't get my mind on the class. So I came home.

Another source of irritation these days is the television show "Alias." I love(d) it. I had no clue the season premier was two weeks ago, and taped last week's episode (and I'm watching it). They killed off one of my favorite characters! Being "Alias", it's possible that he'll come back alive (maybe he was undercover somewhere), but they took him off the opening credits. And there's 3 new characters, I can't understand the story and they're getting sillier.

Oh, and I'm off to New York in just three days! Woo-hoo! I'm hoping my eye glasses will be in by then, but probably not since it's less than a week from purchase. New York, New York!!!!!!!!!!!!
