I can see again!
Jan. 8th, 2005 04:03 pmBack from the eye doc, where yes, in fact, the contacts were way too strong. Turns out the guy at the front desk gave me the wrong instructions and the wrong prescription, so for a week I was wearing something twice as strong as I actually needed. I'm now in the correct prescription now and all I can say is ahhhhh. Also now I can clearly see
swmbo having sex with racoons, so I might just take the contacts out entirely and perhaps replace them with bleach.
Also had a sneak preview of the big, stress inducing meeting as a conversation about "Hey, should we have that meeting tomorrow?" turned into an informal discussion of the meeting topics today. I managed not to throw up or spontaneously burst into flames, so hopefully this is a good sign. I keep my fingers crossed, however, and we'll know tomorrow night if I survived it.
To reassure people who apparently got confused by my earlier flist swap posts, no, I am not reading flocked posts that I am not supposed to read. My amusement with flocked posts was discovering that there were people out there who I was unaware of, but who knew me and were kind enough to include me in their filters. So this is in no way like finding out a secret, inasmuch as these people don't mind me reading said posts since they specifically included me in the filter, but it feels that way to me because I had no idea the posts were out there in the first place. As I said before, I am easily amused even if the thrill is only in my imagination.
On the other hand, I can't tell if I should be amused or insulted that people thought I would be so rude as to read posts that I wasn't supposed to, and then would be stupid enough to announce said fact on my own journal in an unlocked post for all to see. Apparently nobody considers me to be a great criminal mastermind. Though on the other hand that's fine, because when I steal your wallets you'll obviously suspect
mpoetess of doing it, since we all know she is not the Good One.
Now, I take Christmas decorations down.
