Double Post Friday

People seem to avoid doing the best they can whenever they can get away with it. My home WiFi was done for two days, not coincidentally since the Comcast bucket truck came and worked on a pole down the road. Suddenly there's a loose wire coiled up on my trash bin and I don't have WiFi! Today, Verizon sent a tech with a bucket truck to reattach the wire. It took him 45 minutes so I'm sure the Comcast crew (it was more than one guy) made a complete mess of everything. There are reasons we no longer use Comcast, and technical incompetence is only one of many. No gym today, but the dogs got to the park at 7:15 so they were calmer when the tech arrived this morning. 

I did go to the gym on Wednesday and Thursday though. And the elliptical I was using started to make a weird clunking sound. I looked down to see that the cover panel below the pedals was sliding down and rattling. It was easy enough to toe the panel back up into its proper position. I didn't even have to dismount! And no more rattling. The elliptical adjacent appears to be suffering from the same ailment and it looks unused. Probably because no one has figured out how to fix it or that they actually can. People are such lazy asses... am I becoming a curmudgeon in my old age? Nah, I've always said people are stupid. Do we think that machine will still be "broken" on Monday? Because people also don't tell the front desk about equipment problems either, as if management can read everyone's mind. 

My quarterly eye exam was yesterday and while the IOPs were decent (14), the Visual Field test was a bit iffy. The left eye tested fine with no changes to my vision, but the right eye showed vision loss. Not coincidentally, I also experienced the lights differently: instead of sporadic flashes of round dots, sometimes I saw bright vertical slashes of light. Well, that's not normal. I'm going to redo the right eye test but the next available appointment with a consult isn't until May. I'm okay with that. As far as I can tell, I can still see okay...
