Wear safety glasses!

Well, I was grinding on the frame doing a little work and got a hot spark in my eye. Was even wearing safety glasses most of the day. I took the safety glasses off and there was just a tiny bit more to grind. it was hot enough to burn and embed itself into my iris. Went to bed with a headache and then hurt worse in the morning but i had to go to work. The following morning I left work and went to the emergency room. They had to pick the metal piece out of my iris with a needle and use a drill(yes, an actual powered drill) to drill out the rust that had started forming! It was most uncomfortable! All of that over not wearing my safety glasses, just for a minute. I just wanted to remind everyone to wear their safety glasses! oh and if you get metal in your eye, dont wait long enough for it to start rusting inside of your eye
