I felt the metal spark hit my eye but it feels fine. Been about 30 minutes. I don't see anything looking in the mirror. I was wearing sunglasses but not safety goggles. Is it worth going to urgent care or the ER?

I'll admit I do not work with metal all that often. I am working to restore some antique patio furniture and the bolts were all rusted shut. I tried to loosen them with WD-40 but to no avail.

Edit: not sure if it matters but I was using a Dremel with a small cutting wheel.

I have been wanting to move to a new job for several years because of leadership several rungs above my manager (mine is great, as is his. But I have been allowed to continue working at home because of my neuropathy from (probably) Sjogrens and vestibular migraines. Add on that I make a decent wage, have good health care, and a flexible enough schedule so I've stayed.

I'm also underpaid as far as my profession goes. There are groups that keep excellent records. I'm earning about 30% under the industry average for my years and certification.

There's a new job up, work from home, managerial, pay range goes from my current pay to over 2x that (excluding any bonus). But I don't think I can even apply because of this stupid autoimmune condition. I can barely get out of bed during flare ups, I'm so tired and in so much pain.

I'm almost 40, childless, no relationship, and I feel like this is just one more thing I have to give up on because I don't think my body will be able to handle the extra stress.

I know I should be grateful for what I have but i lead such a small life.
