- At my grandmother's house one final time to pack up the last of her possessions and give the place a thorough cleaning before it goes on the market this weekend.
-No internet access inside, have to sit outside where it is freezing to get online.
+Found a free wifi connenction on the boardwalk.
+Writing emails, browsing the forum sitting on the edge of the boards looking out over the ocean. (okay the sun went down now it's really fucking cold)
-I'm never going to be back here again (at least not in the same way)

+Apparently, because my company is laying off so many people, they're running into The WARN Act, requiring that employees get 60-days notice.
+Haven't gotten a letter yet
-There's a very good chance I will, eventually (small chance I may get transferred to a different company or business unit, tiny chance I'll be kept on in some capacity)
--Apparently a large number of people will be getting their letters tomorrow. I don't know if anyone from my group is included, but the group we feed into probably is. Bad odds.

I really don't want to go to work tomorrow...

Also job hunting blows.

Went to the optometrist yesterday.
+ Yay new contacts! I missed you contacts!
+ They are super comfy.
- Um, well, apparently I need reading glasses.
- Seriously.
? I need the lowest of low strengths of reading glasses. +1.00
- Which is super heard to find.
- Not only is my up close sight starting to go, there is some thing I have that means I focus slower than is normal. No big deal but something to be aware of.
+ I can get cute ones.
+ Chris had some eye exercise program he wants me to use to try and strengthen my eyes. Eh, can't hurt.

+1.25 is the most common that I have found. Eventually I'll need actual bifocals. Which irritates me. But anyway, what bad could happen if I am buying exactly what the optometrist told me to get?

I went to the dentist (really that alone belongs in the horror thread!); it has been a few years.

+ Dentist and his staff are lovely, nice people who actually listen and chose to believe you when you tell them stuff.
- 4 cavities and need a crown
+ They're going to try to see if one of the two local oral surgeons will knock me out for it (novacaine doesn't work on me well, or at all)
- That'll cost 1-2k
+maybe our insurance will cover some of it
- maybe they won't
- I am always scared to get knocked out
+ I am MUCH more scared of the drill (actually, I am quite terrified of dentists and all their implements, sounds, and smells)

I just want to get it over with.

I can read with the contact in with the reading glasses. Also, my glasses often give me a serious headache due to smooshing of my head at a pressure point. I'll have to take whatever reading glasses I get and get them super loose. Like I said, it is a super low near sight change (in fact the doctor said that I could not bother with reading glasses as long as I am not doing extensive reading or computering ... yeah, that happens a lot). It doesn't help that apparently my eyes are dry. He prescribed drops too.
