No problem. Any other day and my squick-o-meter might've been pinged by what I typed, also. Today, however, my co-workers are obsessed with talking about Every. Single. Scene. in Sin City. In great detail. I believe my squick-o-meter needs some adjustment now.

They also want to change me from hourly to salaried at the end of the year, with a nice bump in $. There are some issues with that, but the $ would be nice.

Of course you exceed expectations! Woo hoo!

Of course you exceed expectations! Woo hoo!

But what if people expect her to exceed expectations?

Oooh. More money AND appreciation. That would be good.

Go, MG!

But what if people expect her to exceed expectations?

Exactly. That is what I keep saying.

Though, this year has been the year from hell and I have had to do thing I never would have expected, so how can I exceed what never was expected?

Congratulations, MG!

When I asked about my not stellar last evaluation, they indeed told me that they'd raised their expectations. Damn them. Of course, I may have lowered mine.

My cats' are Rocky and Freya.

My cats' nicknames are Rocky and Freya.

Freya was named by a friend who hadn't yet met me, for those who might wonder.

And in case anyone's interested, I'm getting my hair cut this afternoon. It's the same cut as before, but it was growing out nicely, so I let it go for over two months. Then, on Tuesday evening, it all of a sudden looked like crap. Hence, emergency hair appointment. Hmmmpf.

Deena, basically, the answer is that it's not at all clear *why* this is happening, but it's nothing that needs medical intervention. My retinas are just fine. I don't have cataracts. I don't have blind spots. Grid lines are straight and even.

That being the case, my vision is just all over the place. A prescription that worked this spring for reading glasses is now useless. My progressive prescription, which dates to July, is also next to useless. My astigmatism has changed so dramatically that I need a new pair of progressive glasses; that will be three new pairs I've needed so far this year, four if I also remake the readers.

And it's just one of those things, y'know?

IOnot-so-self-centeredN: Yeah Suzi! After all you've been through recently, it's so great to see TWO good things happening at work.

Deena rocks!

vw, I haven't asked for a while, but how is Toto doing after his medical problems of a few months ago?

I know I'm forgetting things, so punctuation to all!

If my eye gets worse, there's stuff they can do involving lasers. Which would be kinda' cool, I guess.

Oh, and they did a bajillion blood tests, which all came back normal. So they have no idea why the eye blood-clot happened.
