The Ugly Truth - another 4 days

Starting last Thursday, I worked for another 4 days on The Ugly Truth. It's a great set with a great crew. Not only is it great to have multiple days like that, but it's a great production to work on. I was hoping we would be back at KCET in hollywood, but that wasn't the case. They were filming in an old police station office in Glendale. Glendale is a little more of a trek for me, but since the call times were almost always 7:15, traffic wasn't bad at all and it was easy to get there. The first day was a rough one for me. I had worked late the night before on Snowflake, so I was a little sleepy. When we were waiting in holding, I decided to close my eyes to rest for a bit. Not sleeping, mind you. =P When I opened my eyes, my contact in my right eye had dried out (that's why I don't sleep or nap in my contacts). Somehow it managed to scratch my eye. I think I had scratched my eye the previous sunday by rubbing my eye too hard when I took a shower, but it had seemed ok. The dried out contact was all my eye needed to scream bloody murder! My eye hurt so bad, so I rushed to the bathroom to take it out ... usually that makes the pain go away. Didn't happen. My eye was killing me ... I could barely keep it open. So, I found the medic and he was very nice. He helped wash my eye and since there was nothing in it, decided that it must be scratched. He had these eye drops, that I swear, are like the miracle eye drops, and I must figure out what they were and where to get them. He put one drop in my eye and it had a refreshing sort of feel, like peppermint. At that time, everyone was coming to set to be placed in the scene. The AD was so nice and put me on a seat, so I wouldn't have to walk around and potentially bump into things (I only had 1 contact in). After about 15 minutes, in the blink of an eye (I couldn't resist), my eye just simply stopped hurting. It was those miracle eye drops. And people kept thinking I scratched my other eye, because my scratched eye was beautifully white, and my other eye, with the contact still in so I could see, was a little red from all the strain. lol
That is about the most eventful thing that happened while I worked there. They were shooting all the news office scenes, so we kept coming back to get put in the background for various office scenes. I wore my glasses for a few days so my eye could heal, and all seems to be well now. =)
If you're reading this, and you have some idea of what kind of eye drops I'm talking about, please post a comment. I've got to get some!

edit ... I found them! Rohto is the brand name and they are listed on drugstore.com
