The Adventures of Just Being Me

I should have my own reality show, but too scared I wouldn't have enough adventures for a whole series.

Ok, so working for my job I get a discount card for eyewear though not signed up for their eyecare plan. Check the list of nearby places that take this card. I end up going to 5 places b/c I want specific glasses that have magnets to keep the shades that come with the glasses in place. Naturally, I want to check out the eyewear these places have before commiting to an appointment and buying new glasses.

Nobody gets what I'm asking them when they get around to asking me if I need help. At one place I tried on several glasses for at least 20 minutes before someone spoke to me. Then the only ones that fit my tiny face were rimless and I'm not sure I like the whole new look of it. I sat for 5 minutes for this lady to tell me there are no appointments available until next week. One lady thought I wanted the magnets on my current glasses replaced and they don't carry the magnets. Then thought I wanted the shade part replaced and the shades are made specifically for each pair so she can't do that. One more time, I want a whole new set of glasses, I just want the type that have the magnets like the ones I got now before I visit your eye doctor. Geesh. Oh, no they don't have that kind. Ok, next place.

So hard looking at glasses in the first place. Like shoe shopping (I always say the most popular shoes are always the uglyist), they make the most fugly glasses that don't flatter anyone's face. No wonder people wear contacts or get laser surgery. And what does geek chic mean anyway? Who wants to walk around the world looking like a geek? I can't think of any.

Keep trying, maybe have to go to the place I got the ones I have now (a hour away from me now).
