The wrong glasses

[white_hart]

I turned off my work laptop, came downstairs and turned on my personal laptop, and sat there wondering if I really was tired enough for everything to look so blurry. And then I realised I was wearing my seeing-things-other-than-computers glasses and not my seeing-computers glasses. (Juggling two pairs of glasses is, quite frankly, a massive pain in the arse.)

I am tired enough that it didn't seem impossible that that could be making everything look blurry. I had such grand plans for the things I would do with the two weeks between the end of term and the Christmas break, and obviously I haven't actually done most of them and am just crawling through the last few meetings and wishing I could just go back to bed. (I actually went for a PCR test yesterday because I was feeling so tired and headachy, but it was negative, so I think it's just end-of-term exhaustion.)

Only one more day to get through...

It's the wrong glasses! And they've gone wrong!

I hear what you say about multiple pairs of glasses. I have three - reading, intermediate (computer) and distance. I've tried having varifocals, but tended to fall down.

My seeing-things-that-aren't-computers glasses are varifocals, so at least I only have the two pairs! (And varifocals are essential as otherwise I can't knit and watch TV at the same time.)

Everyone I speak to at work is just shattered. And of course there is New Stuff even this week. Ridiculous! Just once can't we start a holiday not exhausted?

And everything I leave undone this week is another thing which will need to be done in the first week of January, which already contains too many meetings and deadlines...

Sometimes I'm grateful that I only need glasses for reading!
