A very handy benefit of working at this eye clinic is that I get eye exams and hardware at discount! (Esp. handy as I'm becoming more and more near-sighted over the years.) So, yesterday, the doc let me have a bit of a reprieve from the front desk and gave me an all inclusive eye exam (I got to look at the inside of my eye!!! Really trippy! And, btw, it wasn't blue.) It was actually very enjoyable. Yes, I got a slight headache that lasted for about an hour and a half, but considering everything he did (he wanted me to do EVERYTHING so I would know what the patients experience) it really wasn't bad! Anyways, the exam went well, I got my prescription, and during a lull in the day I tried on a few frames to try and get an idea of what I wanted. One of the opticians offered to help and she began to pull out frame after frame until I had at least fifty pairs in front of me! :-) To condense: I tried every new and cool frame on, got to take three frames home and get the family's opinion, took them back the next day to find that they'd let me just buy the frame from the stock instead of waiting for a new pair to get shipped in, they also had my rx of lenses in stock, the manager made a special trip back to the store (after leaving early) to cut them to shape, aaaaaand I got my complete new pair of glasses that afternoon! Exam to glasses in 28 hours. Very exciting. I'm liking it very much. :-)
