Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Would it be at all common for a company to have multiple 401k plans?
Definitely there are different benefits of all kinds if some people are part of a union and others aren't. Not sure why else they would do it, but it's not beyond the realm of my imagination.
Betsy, good luck with the vision thing, and what they said about getting into the doctor early. I'll also mention that when I had eye issues, the opthalmologist and the optomotrist disagreed about what the issue actually was.

Mmmk. My optometrist wants to see me first thing tomorrow, and I'm going to push him on whether an opthalmogist is wise.

How do you solve a problem like Bombelli?
How do you catch a cubic and pin it down?
How do you prove combination by induction?
An ibn al-Banna! A depressed cubic! A clown!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My ophthalmologist found the blood clot that my optometrist and doctor missed. I think the difference was the ophthalmologist dilated my eye and used a special hand-held magnifying thingie.

In my case, they both recommended the same thing, but for different reasons. And slightly talked smack about each other's specialization.

Oh, HELL. I'm already caught in one specialist-fight (psych vs. neuro), thanks very much.

Heh. Now I'm imagining an opthalmologist saying, "Optometrists do a pretty good job - when they're not busy killing puppies."

Good luck, Betsy.
I probably missed your postings about it, but how is your vision these days, tommyrot? Is there a lot of permanent damage?

Nah, not that bad. Just one of them said, "Did the [other one] say you have [whatever it was]? It's not that. They always say that." (The issue was that contacts irritated my eyes. Which I ignored for four years. So the answer was not to wear them, regardless of if I have whatever the thing was.)
