Getting mighty sick of the same sort of thing actually.

Apparently the fact I've been single eighteen months and made no real moves (aside from hilarious "next time I'll buy a puppy" date) to change it, there's clearly something inherently wrong with me, ranging on a scale roughly from I've contracted The Plague to I'm secretly an axe-murderer.

I mean, it couldn't just be I'm enjoying the freedom of being single and doing my own thing, and enjoy my own company could it?

Not possible to be a happy person on your own RTB, did you not get the memo?

I'd believe the axe murderer bit. I mean, you're a member here, after all. We all have that eventuality coming at some point in our lives.

My new glasses were supposed to arrive today, but the delivery is taking its sweet sweet time and I'm sitting here on metaphorical hot coals 'cause I need to take them to the optometrist or whatever they're called to have some last adjustments made and aside from today I won't have time to do so for another whole week and I have a appointment in a couple of hours... A needs ma glasses, duh!

Same shit, different day. They've been carting around my order for two days now. I'm not amused.

Edit: Didn't get my delivery. They 'couldn't find my adress'. On the town's most busy street. Translation: they ran out of time and couldn't bother. So I called customer service (since that's not the first time that's happened) and the bastard hung up on me the moment I mentioned I'd like know why my delivery's been cruising around town for two days

#FirstWorldProblems, but I need my glasses because for now I can work for two hours on a computer before I get headaches from squinting at the screen, which unfortunately means I'm chipping away at my second Advent Calendar entry at the lightnign speed of one hour a day.

The quest continues. I'm watching my delivery doing the rounds around town from work (they've got GPS tracking for the delivery truck) but it's yet to show up at my door. That's not even remotely funny anymore.

What's the bet your delivery people are related to Abyss' delivery people?

My groove:
I'm annoying by The Australian cricket team's continued inability to play the swinging ball. No, that's not a metaphor.

Never used to be a problem, and we had some decent swing bowlers ourselves. But in recent years it's like that art has become extinct here.

By the same token, if the ball isn't swinging the English can't bowl for shit.

To be fair, we've diversified quite a bit since the days of just plain old axes.

Finally able to get in to the dentist, in the waiting room right now. I predict root canal and crown.

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

Dammit. Tooth broke off below the gum. Crown not possible. So, extraction and then a $3000 implant if I decide I get tired of being the toothless wonder.

[Aptorian]

My wallet sympathises with you, Raymond.

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

It’s expensive enough that I’ll probably just do without. It’s my back most molar so I don’t think it will be easy to see. If I can get away with chewing I’ll probably say screw it.

[worry]

Yah, since it's an end molar rather than a gap, just think of it as an extra wisdom tooth you had removed.

I'm missing one, too, and can tell you that as long as it's not immediately visible and isn't impeding you nobody will care. The gap also tends to grow smaller over time and you get used to the feeling.

I have a missing tooth somewhere on the right side. Till date I have experienced no problems from it.

[Abyss]

Counterpoint: over time your remaining nearby teeth may shift into the gap and cause other problems that will cost you more to fix. Gummy.

I mean, I've met TRB. And I didn't go to her house but I'm certain there's an axe or two lurking somewhere. And I'm not saying they have *definitely* been used, but... 😉

But what we're saying is, those nicks didn't put themselves there, right?
