Are you sure you've got the right number of 'm's in your name? JoJo had a lot of problems with that.

Went to see Optometrist as part of my yearly Is he safe to drive a car for another year with diabetes bullshit. Gives me some f***ing drops as part of the check up, then tells me come back in 40 minutes your pupils will be fully dialated by then. Thanks c***, it's not like I have to pick up the kids by then or after go to work or anything.
F***ing throbbing headache as I'm now pulling in all available light like it's midnight, But it ain't it's early afternoon, sunny summer day here.

Aye aye aye!
Got those same horrid yellow drops myself one time after playing with explosives as a kid and getting a piece of glass lodged in my eye. (1/2 mm from penetrating into the liquid centre, which I was told, would have rendered me blind in that eye  )
Funny thing is, as shocking as the blast was - I've no memory of the pain of it. Just that of having to walk 4kms home without sunglasses on a sunny 35° day. The only worse pain I recall was smashing my ankle when I fell asleep driving home one night.
Hope the eyes return to normal quickly and the headache elephants off soon!

I did that a couple months ago to get some new glasses measured. It wasn't too bad with the sun glasses they give you.
Don't they give you sun glasses down under?

No and they wouldn't have been much good with the glasses I wear any way. Well I wear contact lenses all the time but didn't put them in today as I was seeing the optometrist.

Here they give you some flexible disposable plastic things that wrap around inside your glasses. Work quite well actually, but not comfortable enough for long term use. They certainly are dark enough to protect dilated eyes.

Here in the Colonies, they're required to tell you in advance if they intend to dilate your eyes, so that you can plan to have another driver available to get you home. Of course, now that we all have ObamaCare, we'll all get free cab rides home when things don't work out quite as planned at the optometrist's shop.

That's another thing I don't really get. Why don't you just call it an eye doctor?

Because they aren't doctors. The correct title for an "eye doctor" is ophthalmologist[^].

That's what I don't get about it - ophthalmologists have a medical background. Everyone who has studied medicine or a similar subject (eye medicine for example) shall be called a doctor.
Around here we have eye doctors (opthaldingding, - I can't even spell the name), doctors, ear doctors, etc.
would be much simpler?

The same reason we don't call a proctologist an a**hole mechanic, or you, a script kiddie - respect for their education and experience.

Went through the same a month ago - turns out my retina has a bubble in it, which was giving me a 'wobbly spot' in the vision of my left eye.
I drove back to the office after the drops on the most cloudless beautiful day Qld has ever seen.
Was not only agony, but when I got back to the office my mascara had run & I looked like a firggin' panda

Shortly I'll be off to a meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to have a discussion about an up coming meeting. Does this happen at anyone else's work place?
|
|
|
|
|
Of course... meetings... the practical alternative to work!!
|
|

That's why my boss allways is in some meeting... I tend to avoid them, just time loose.
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

I can understand this if the meeting is with a client or the board and you need to get it perfect but all too often I see this sort of time wasting at much lower level on the food chain.
My biggest bitch is when a requirement meeting is called and 14 people turn up to put their ideas forward, and then spend the first 2 hours arguing about their internal processes.
OR when you can even find an owner of a process you are supposed to reengineer.
Damn will you not wind me up like that.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
