that torture device that puffs air into your eyes today

I hate that thing. When you sit there, you know it's coming, you know it's not going to hurt, but I always jump. I've even had to do a redo a few times :wacko:

Where in the hell have all the people gone?

I'm thinking they've all gone down to Washington to get a slice of the pie.

These telephone answering systems are a pain in the neck. Companies use them to save money on customer service and end up costing you a lot of your time. I desperately needed gas in my car last night only to have my credit card declined at the pump. I got home and called the 24-hour customer service number, responded to all the requests for secret info to identify myself, only to have the customer friendly 24-hour recording tell me to call back during normal business hours. What the @%*&$@? I called again and responded to every demand for information by pressing zero. After only four zeroes, I got a real, live 24-hour person who informed me that there was no problem with my credit; their system was down and they couldn't approve any transactions. Next time I get a recording I am going to respond with the zero key only.

If computers were really smart, they would tell you exactly what the problem is so you could use another card or pay cash.

The answer: Lasik. It rocks. Of course, there is that little part about paying for it...

The Answer... LASIK doesnt work for astigmatism...

torture device that puffs air into your eyes

This is the worst part of the eye exams.... lucky my new doctor has a better machine. They numb your eye and come at you with this thing and it touches your eye and reads the pressure. At the old eye doctor I probably still hold the record for the most attempts... 20 times for each eye... The doctor was soooo pissed I was like how bout we trade places and you tell me how it feels.

My glasses are old and f**ked up, and the contacts are off I guess. I don't like wearing them at night because the vision isnt as good, as it is with my glasses.

I have the reverse problem.... since I was seeing my eye doctor every 6 months due to having a total of 4 blind spots (average person has 2 one in each eye and me being lucky I have 2 in each eye) I got my contact prescription updated every time so I could see better with the contacts and not the glasses. I was told that if you start having difficulty with contacts it could be either the prescription or the brand.... at one point it was both for me.

The thing I hate the most is when they dilate your eyes and t when are done they want you to choose a frame, like you can really see anything. I always wait and it pisses them off.

First of all there is a stupid call-block thing on the work phone, so I have to enter a seven digit password to make a toll-free call ( 866 HELLO! ). Then the stupid "automated" system is being all sketchy. Sounds like a skipping CD. Then it wasn't recognizing entries, because its sounding all sketchy.

The call block thing is the worst part of dialing out... especially when you are in a hurry and need to make a call. One company I worked for they blocked long distance calls... but everyone new the long distance passcode.

Automated systems are fun.... NOT. I tend to keep pushing "0" until I get a human being. When I was working on a college campus in a cell phone store I had a guy come in because the stupid voice recognition system the phone company used couldn't understand his English, granted he spoke with a German accent.
