After a prolonged absence, I finally went to visit my eye doctor last week.
The good news: my Lasik eye surgery from 1998 is apparently still holding strong. Hooray for 20/20 vision.
The bad news: apparently the surface of my eyes looks a bit like this:
Yikes! Dry eyes=dry eye surface.
When Dr T said my eye surface had the consistency of sandpaper, I immediately wanted to ask him what grade sandpaper – 220 (superfine) or 80 (really rough)? I guess that’s what happens when you’ve been working on furniture projects for months on end…
While my dry eyes are here to stay, so is a new routine of (over-the-counter) eye drops 3x a day.
I’m about to file a formal protest over getting older. Does anyone know where the complaint office is located?
I thought I'd help you out by googling "complaint department." Then I realized that nowadays that it's called the customer service department.
So here's what the first entry I looked at contained (from the State of Georgia):
The Office of Customer Service is tasked with imbedding process improvement and cultural development methodologies within state entities and developing a system for measuring results statewide. (SAY WHAT?)
As with all agencies, our office must set priorities. In carrying out our statutory responsibilities, there are four criteria [we] . . . must consider to determine the extent to which we can address the issues raised in your complaint. This checklist may also help you, as a consumer, decide in advance how best to pursue your claim:
Does the situation meet the definition of a “consumer transaction”? = DID YOU ACTUALLY PURCHASE YOUR BODY?
Does it affect the public good? = DOES THE PUBLIC REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR BODY?
Is there is an ongoing pattern of the alleged improper behavior? = HAVE YOU BEEN ABUSING YOUR BODY, SAY, BY RUNNING AN INSANE NUMBER OF MILES ON A MACHINE?
Does another state or federal agency have primary or specific jurisdiction to handle this type of complaint? = WE'LL TRY TO FIGURE OUT A WAY WE CAN PASS THE BUCK ON ANY COMPLAINT YOU MAY HAVE.
This is SO FUNNY!!! Unfortunate that it came over on my blackberry while I was at the grocery store. Fellow shoppers thought I lost my mind when I burst into laughter on aisle 10.
