I just had a Velma Moment...

comeon... you remember... Scooby Doo!

Velma always lost her glasses... well... i didn't lose them... THEY BROKE...

Titanium frames my ass... now... i know i have had them for a while... but they got a little twisted... i tried to bend them back appropriately, and snap... one of the arms broke off... and not in a place where it could be repaired... and crazy glue just wasn't going to hold it together...

now... i did order new glasses about a week or so ago... and they haven't come in yet... they should be in tomorrow or wednesday... That... ofcourse doesn't help me in ARIZONA...

I had to think fast. This is demo week at work... we have 4 vendors coming in to display their software... all of the teams will be around... and i can't wear half a pair of glasses, nor can i get by on wearing prescription sunglasses...

So I called LensCrafters (who i usually go to) and asked if they could sell me a box of contacts... Sure... if I have the correct prescription... WHAT? I don't run around carrying a prescription... So I called up Kurt who lives in my building and asked him to go into my place, find my prescription and tell me what it is... but no... they need to see the prescription... so i found the hotel fax machine number and had him fax it to there (I need to buy him dinner or something for his trouble)

I got the prescription faxed... went to the lenscrafters, only to find out... they don't have the type i need... so i told them... just get me something comparable... NNNNNOOOOPPPEEEE! they can only give me the type that's on the prescription...

What is it with these contact manufacturers...

well... whatever...

I can see... no glasses... and i have to go to the correct lenscrafters that have the contacts and get a box for emergencies. because... apparently... ya never know!
