How do I survive looking like an off-center jizz target for a week? I can't work from home, can't take PTO, and there's no office "Meredith" to blame. Everyone saw my symptoms today.

Just move to working the drive through window, not the fryer.

Start washing your hands?

I thought I had pink eye at a new job. I was told I wasn’t welcome in the office because they couldn’t afford other people getting sick and I didn’t have any vacation/sick time for that position so I had to just not get paid for taking a day off.

Sage advice, and some that I've already heeded.

Not a great answer for retaining small shreds of my dignity when asked "What happened to your eye!" or "Are you contagious?" though.

Go to the doctor and get the drops.

It will help quickly.

Wear an eye patch, dress as a pirate. Tell them you thought it was the office Halloween party.

Own it. Walk in the door and immediately say “check out my fricking eye, y’all!”

Get the drops from the Dr, and just wear the eyepatch like others have said. Just tell everyone your kid poked you in the eye or some shite.
