There are people on the net that
have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other
people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking
about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day
talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for
their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone
to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw
a temper tantrum.
To these people I say
grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the
web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am,
or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my
hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on,
go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just
click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the
offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine.
That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like
it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go
somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too
fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone
forgot this simple fact: Live and let live
Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This
journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to
write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So
read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours)
bitching about it.

In Other News... Briefly, here's what else has been going on the past few days.
Saturday afternoon (before all the emergency stuff with my friend) Love and I ran back for the third time to the eyeglass place. I had picked up the glasses with the unflawed lenses Tuesday night but they were giving me a HORRIBLE "fish eye" distortion. I couldn't even judge depth at first and even after 24 hours of trying to "get used to them" it wasn't working and I was in an isle in Target, dizzy and sick. I switched back to my old pair.
So they tested the focal point and the prescription, measured my pupil distance and all sorts of things. The glasses are to spec but they think the size and shape of the lenses, being so much wider and longer then my current pair are just going to have that kind of distortion for me. And if I am not getting used to it, I need to pick out a new pair. Boo.
Well, that's what I wound up doing. I mean, much as I absolutely LOVED the pair and the color of the frames and such, being ill wearing them defeats the point. The pair I ordered instead has a more golden-brown sort of frame color (the other pair had a more coppery-burgundy color) and they're the same basic shape - still a rounded rectangle - but they're shorter and hopefully won't leave me looking through the blurred corners so much. Unfortunately, they only had ONE lens in stock so they need to order more. Should be sometime maybe this weekend/early next week before they'll be ready and we can try again.
Problem is of course that you can't tell if a lens or the shape of the frames is going to be bad for wearing until it has your Rx in it. They looked fine to me in the demo lenses but of course, that's because they had no strength to them! HOPEFULLY, this pair will work. I really want my new glasses!
Today I'm running over to see Shelly - my favorite therapist from my old job - at 3pm. It's been two months since I've had a massage and the stress of everything going on has taken a serious toll on my neck. I really need it and I'm tired of headaches and such from it these past few weeks.
Work was ok with my calling off Monday so that's good. It's been such erratic training so far that I still am not actually doing the tasks yet that I will be responsible for. I know it's more bearable right now since I can chat with my trainer, Janet, but once I'm on my own, I'll just be sitting in my cube, dialing people and filling out repetitive forms on a computer screen. (A TINY and awful little CRT monitor I might add.) Janet told me she hopes they take advantage of my intelligence and quick wit or they'll lose me because I'm clearly WAY overqualified for the job. That's sweet of her to say. Of course, I don't know how likely it will be to come to pass but...it's sweet regardless.
Rand's still stable. He may be in CSU (Cardiac Surgery Unit) for several weeks we found out as the sedation and such can take several weeks to fully come out of, even if they only have him on it fully for several days. We tried to go see him last night but shift change was 6:30pm-8pm and it was 6:45pm so we just left. Didn't want to wait around that long when he's not even conscious anyway.
Been feeding his cats and such and I'll be running by his house daily to keep an eye on them. They like me best of anyone besides Rand so they'll come out for me where they hide for everyone else.
Alright well, I need to get ready. Just wanted to give a bit of an update of what's been going on in general.
