But what I really want to know is

Friday! And you know what that means!
Yes, I have two more days left in the work week. But it also means 'Ask me a question' day! Woo!

I can see clearly now

New glasses ordered. I did not, in fact, have to fight tooth and nail for glass lenses, but I did pay through the nose. I didn't realize how much extra they'd be until I was getting rung up (which was at least partially my fault for not asking) and it's probably more than I would have *liked* to but not more than I can take. I got the cool magnetic sunglass attachment thingies, and the shape is a fair approximation of the lenses I currently have. The exam indicates that my eyesight has improved over the past six years, so take *that*, 'getting older', you big doodyhead.
Ten working days from now, they say I should have them in hand.

Well I'll be switched

I've had access to tags all along and never knew--I assumed that they weren't in my form because I was using Dystopia (the really really old format). But it was pretty much right there, and somehow I kept missing it over and over and over.
