I've been pondering doing something like Lasic on my eyes. I'm juggling so many pairs of glasses at this point. I've got an eye appointment next month and I'm going to ask about options there.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

I went whole hog on the eye options, going for the best of all the options. In theory, I should have perfect near/intermediate/far vision for the rest of my days. I figured I am doing it once, so I might as well go for it. I have overused and abused my eyes staring at screens for the last 40+ years so I need to treat them right now.

That's what my dad went for, Laura. He's in the brain-learning-to-interpret-these-new-signals stage at this point, I think, but he's pretty happy with the results so far.

Next couple of weeks are going to be weird at work. On the one hand, we're trying to go live with our new ERP first thing in January, so there's all this stuff to be done to make that happen. On the other, tomorrow is WFH, again on Monday, we're off Tues and Wednesday and back in the office Thursday, which many many people are taking off. The following week are supposed to be in office Tuesday, off Wednesday, and back in the office firing up the new system Thursday. Do I dare to leave my laptop in the office over the holiday?
I don't want to say this out loud where anyone can hear me, but I hope all these news stories about CEOs in another industry fearing for their safety makes our executives second guess that whole cut labor costs before the end of the year plan we were told was on the table

A new ERP system first thing in January? That's bananapants crazy! I have no advice, merely sympathy.

It was originally supposed to happen in July. Then September. Then November. Now January. Super fun all the way around.

I skimmed a bunch, but I see we are talking about cadaver parts. I have a cadaver ACL! It seems to not be evil, so that's a plus.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We used to be all "Check out my new corset!" and now we're all "Hey, I too have cadaver parts to try to shore up my crumbling body!"

I've been pondering doing something like Lasic
I got it done in 1999 and never regretted it. I need readers now, but it’s a lot easier than juggling spectacles or, god forbid, progressive lenses.
When my dad worked as a printer her ended up with trifocals. He looked like a bobble head reading the newspaper. And he kept losing his ATM card because it timed out before he could focus and enter his PIN. He was reduced to my mom pulling out a cash allowance for him weekly. Man, I miss him.
