What a nasty day out. Rain rain rain. It took me about two hours to get home. The Turnpike was no-go from the stadium to Hollywood/Pines. Craziness. And the people passing in the median... heh... After a while, I would stick out into the median making it difficult for them to pass. Made me feel better at least. Too bad there wasn't a ledge for them to fall off of.

I got a new pair of contact lenses yesterday. I looked up doctors in my vision plan's book, and saw the doctor that operates in the Costco across the street. So, I decided to go there at lunch. Did the eye exam thing, and found out they don't take my insurance. WTF?! I am due for a followup next Tuesday, and I am bringing my paperwork for confirmation. If so, I am calling the provider to find out why he is listed in their book. This kind of thing just pisses me off. Anyway, the doc said that my left eye could get one script or another, not sure which would be better. I don't like the one I have - I am going to ask to try the other. My left eye is just not right at all. It is better in my glasses, which are old enough as it is. We'll see.

Work craziness continues. I wasn't there for the 9am lynchingproblem report meeting. Yea, I had a yellow ticket the day before. I forgot about it. It was stupid. It should never have been yellow in the first place. It took me longer to get into the system and resolve the ticket than solve the problem. Whatever. They want me there and available at 9am for whatever reasons - sure fine. I'll just have to think about not being there and available at 1:30am when the phone rings again (my cell phone no less - and I HATE it when I get called on my cell when I am home, especially since I prefer people calling my home number which will transfer to the cell when I am not there). I mean one or the other people - I am NOT a manager! At any rate, my co-worker's last day is Friday and I need to get the brain dump on his projects. I better write this stuff down.

Tomorrow, I'm going to try the dinner with the parents thing again. They never came last night. My Dad got called into work. Instead, I BBQ'd up a burger, and promptly fell asleep on the couch. A few hours later, I snatched my laptop back up, which still had juice, and went up to the bedroom, plugged it in, started some music. Then, the TV went on for about an hour of mind-numbing, then I went back to sleep. Still, I managed to wake up late this morning and be tired all day. But at least I got another referral sent for a sleep specialist (I lost the last one). So, it's off to work early tomorrow. I want to be there early, so I can cut out a bit early as well. After a little pit stop, I'm going to stop at the 'rents to help paint the last bit of the house (weather permitting), and head back to my place for dinner. I also invited Nana and my Sister (and Brother-in-law). It should be fun, and Dad and I are going to look into a plan of action to install the dish. I'd rather do it myself than hire an installer! heh..
