I went to the optometrist’s offices today to try to get the lit­tle feet on my glasses replaced… they have to order new ones and charge me $15 for the trou­ble. Irritating, and pre­cisely the sort of nickel-and-diming bull­shit one should expect from a “fam­ily owned” busi­ness. On the other hand, I tried to get a Dell small busi­ness account setup ear­lier today so I could buy things, and after 30 min­utes argu­ing with their com­put­ers, I finally got ahold of a live per­son, who claimed he couldn’t hear me and promised to call me back. Hint: he never did.

As an aside, who­ever invented IVR is on my list of peo­ple to assas­si­nate should I ever have the abil­ity to travel back­wards in time. I don’t care if it was a joint effort between (warn­ing: spoiler) Hemingway and Jesus, they catch the bullet.

I man­aged to hit my caloric goal for the day, mainly because I walked home from the train rather than cab­bing it all the way home, as I have been known to do when I get out later than the bus runs.
