I like my old perspective, thanks!

They say that sometimes all you need is a new perspective on things.

Yeah, well after this morning I'll keep my old perspective!

I wear contacts, and usually deal just fine with them. I take decent care of them, change them appropriately, and so on, and in return they work just fine for me.

But occasionally I screw something up.

The case I keep them in at night has one of the covers marked with an L; you're meant to put it on the side that has the Left contact in. I do this probably 99.999999999% of the time.

But apparently not last night.

When I got up this morning, the side with the L on it was on the container on the RIGHT. Now, I normally put them in, put the tops on, and then leave them -- it's not normal for me to then turn the case around so that L is on the right.

But then again, I normally put the L top on the left contact.

So, there's the delemma. Do I believe the top, or do I belive the orientation of the case?

I went with the top, but here's the catch -- my eyes are just slightly, slightly different, so if I choose poorly, it's not immediately obvious.

In this instance, I chose poorly. It took me a couple of hours to figure it out, but eventually I did, went to the bathroom at work, and swapped the contacts back to the correct eyes.

Ah, yes. THAT perspective is much better!
