Microwaves

This is going to be an experiment. An experiment to see if I have the will power and patience to maintain a blog. Also, it is a chance to see if i actually have something important, or at least interesting to say on a daily basis.

So here it goes...

This morning I went to the eye doctor's office to get a new perscription. I spend at least 18 hours a day with lenses in but I generally dont notice how bad my vision is when I don't have my lenses in. It surreal to look around you and not be able to read something that is less than a foot away from your face. Its strange to think that I have been waking up not being able to see for 8 years now.
When I got home I had a very strange moment with the microwave. I put the timer on, but when it went off I ran into the kitchen and threw open the microwave door, expecting some delicious food to be waiting for me. However, I opened the door and there was nothing inside and I couldnt remember why. I had that same overwhelming feeling you get when you walk into a room and forget why you went there in the first place. When I remembered that I had put the timer on for tea, I felt a sense of disappointment. Somehow the whole situation struck me as profound, but I can't exactly put my finger on why.

Also, at work on Tuesday, an old woman cried over a return that she thought I had made a mistake on. She yelled at my manager for a good ten minutes, and when she found out she was wrong she began to cry. Nobody knew what to do, but we had to move her out of the way to continue checking-out the rest of the customers with the standard "Hi! How are you today? Do you have a rewards card?" and cheery smile. It was the most intense moment.

Okay, so...I guess thats it.

Oh yeah....even thought it not a requirement
