That's our job (but we're not mean)

[cyrano]

The little rubber nose thingie tore off my glasses this morning, and I can't seem to replace it. I need to get my insurance information so I know where I can go so I can see about getting my frames (hopefully just the frames) dealth with.

This morning I reached into the soap grab bag for a new bar and came out with 'Sleepy Hollow'. It's a little early, as it will be completely gone before All Soul's, but it makes me happy to think it's almost that time of year. (Even if we don't really get that time of year around here.)

For a temporary solution, go buy one of those little glasses repair kits from the drugstore--they usually have replacement stick-on nosepads.

I was a good and industrious citizen and got my fecal matter aggregated--I have an exam at Sears on Friday before work. But I should have one of those kits around....

You should have THREE. I have a tiny screwdriver on my keychain, and small repair kits in my schoolbag, my purse, my bug-out bag, and in the car.

Yes, but I am not good at translating 'should' into 'is'.
I'm getting more industrious, more productive; usually I would expect this 'gathering insurance information because I lost the card and never bothered to replace it, then find out who I can get service from and then make an appointment' to take several days, rather than forty-five minutes.

In other news, I didn't need the card for my glasses, they were ablel to look me up based on name, dob, ssn. Applies to VSP, not sure about other plans.

Yeah, I asked and they said if I gave them the number they'd be able to bring up my data and no card was required. And since my account number is my social security number (something that bugs the living crap out of me) it's not like I need the card to help me remember what my account number is.

And PS: I'm going to get a pair of scissors and trim this little adhesive pad, but it appears to be an excellent stopgap.

Wah! The stick on nose pads fail to stick. They sort of gently hug, at least, and I think I can make it work for a couple of days.

Okay, I have now taken my emergency *clothing* repair kit, combined it with my emergency *spectacle* repair kit and sewn the stupid pad onto my glasses.
Hah.
