I’m too tired to do a fully-fleshed-out write-up, so I’ll just tell you about my morning by copying and pasting from mail to
Executive summary: Was told to wear my contacts with the incorrect prescription in before my eye-doctor appointment so that the prescription could be corrected, so I put in the lenses I can't read with that give me headaches and nausea. Got a call from my boss as I was walking to the T saying our entire environment was down. The train I was on was stuck for 15min behind a disabled train (getting progressively more crowded, since the doors were open). Got in, my boss said everything was back, but it all went down again. Spent a long time on the phone with fileserver tech support (trying to read with my bad contact lenses). Stumbled across something that seemed to work just in time to turn the call over to David and go to my eye appointment (I though) with an only lightly spotted conscience. Got there and discovered that I'd misread the clock and I was actually an hour early. Saw the eye doctor, but he actually had a record of the correct prescription and didn't need to examine me again. Here's where things start to turn around. The optician's agreed to take back the incorrect contact lenses I hadn't yet opened, so I'm not out all that money, and my new hopefully working lenses will be in in a few days. On my way back to work, I passed the Hello Kitty store, so now I have a couple of Hello Kitty glasses (one for work, one for home) and a Hello Kitty condom/lube/sex-toy case. [Seriously! It’s like a slightly smaller shaving case, but transparent and sparkly and with a picture of Hello Kitty on it! What else would you use it for?] When I got back to work, I threw out the lenses I was wearing and the nausea went away when I put my glasses on. Things *are* working again at work, and we don't know exactly what causes the problem but we know how to fix it if it happens again, and the vendor is working hard on figuring out the bug. And tonight I get to go over to [chienne_folle]'s for a games night. Yay!
So, the three good things: Thanks in large measure to
After that, I met
And tonight I went over to
So, all in all, life is good! And soon I will have new contact lenses that don’t give me headaches and with which I can actually read computer screens!
