strife
My laptop has been acting up for the past few days, refusing to shut down properly. I suspect it got stuck on an update. I tried restoring it but lost patience and ended up resetting it, which wiped out all my apps and data—a total hassle.
On top of that, I got an email today about a pair of glasses I ordered online. Normally, I wouldn’t buy glasses this way, but it was my only option at the time. I had spoken with an optometrist about the order but decided to place it myself since it seemed they were just ordering them online anyway, and no options were available in-store.
I searched for my old prescriptions at home but couldn’t find last year’s, so I had to visit the shop to request a copy. I sent it to them, but this morning I got an email saying the copy was blurry and missing key details. They also asked whether the glasses were for reading or distance vision, which I wasn’t sure how to answer because I usually just rely on my prescription.
I contacted the optometrist again and finally got the details I needed, though they refused to give the info over the phone, which made it even more frustrating. By then, I was seriously regretting ordering glasses online.
I’ve now sent the correct information, so hopefully the order will go through. After this ordeal, though, I’m definitely not ordering glasses online again. Meanwhile, I still need to restore everything on my laptop.
I was hoping to avoid taking the bus today, but that plan went out the window once I got the specs company’s email. The glasses I ordered are smart glasses, which should help with hands-free tasks and practical vision issues. I’ve heard updated versions with longer battery life will be released soon—hopefully, they can fix that with a software update.
