Pointless Advice

Here's a "lessons learned" for you folks...
When getting new contacts...put them in a NEW container...NOT an empty old one that's been sitting around.

Yep, I gave myself Pink Eye...took my new sample that I got from the doc while I was waiting for my order to come in...put it in a used container during the week when I use my glasses at work.
Then decided to put them in for the weekend, slept in them (just to make sure I was really marinated...)
And JUST after I had finally gotten a cute woman I've been going back & forth on, to accept a date (that night) ...the irritation kicked in.

Thru the day it got worse, took them out even....put in some max strength Visine.
But it got painful, my eyes were tearing and weeping, got inflamed and cloudy...couldn't see out of that eye and it closed up. (looked like friggin pirate)

Needed to say....I finally called her up and canceled. (can't catch a fuckin' break)
Then drove myself to the urgent care....need my eyes for work, dammit. (do you know how hard it is to drive with one eye?? And no, I had no one to help me and no time to wait for a cab...if they'd come to my place)

Yes, I'm better...but you see that guy in the pic? He's an idiot. (and yes, he was an idiot too...kind of appropriate on a smaller scale here)
I can only hope I get another date with her...

When you feel really crappy about yourself and you wonder what the heck you should be doing with yourself... go look at your CV and dwell upon every single award you've been given. You'll walk away feeling awesome.

 

When your keyboard on your desk top annoys you, just go out and get a new one. They're so stinkin' cheap and even a junky new one is better than a sticky old one.

 

Conversely: spending a little more up front for a good keyboard may result in your keyboard annoying you less often.

 

Well, there is that. Way to find a positive in a negative.

 

Last time I bought a keyboard, I went and tried several before buying one online; writing regularly means that I'm picky about the tactile response of keys.

 

Trackball beats mouse.

The rest of you don't know what you're missing.

 

When you want to learn something, but feel like you're drowning in the effort to learn, keep looking for a teacher. Every attempt to learn will be rewarding, and will prepare you for the teacher who can help you piece it all together.

There are a billion people who think they can teach. Of those, select few are actually competent.

 

It's not always about you.
