Go get a pair of fucking glasses

I had a really bad day at work, where it was impossible to reason with a moron trying to cover her ass. I think my life could be a lot easier if she had just done her job. My morning was spent shaking with anger, biting my tongue because she had tried to guilt trip me with victims from Hurricane Katrina. Like what the fuck.

And so because of one retarded woman, little things have been setting me off. For example, the complete idiots who sell the ever so popular item Owl Optical Wallet Light for reading. The infomercial is full of asses who are too vain to wear glasses. "It's thin like a credit card so I can slip it into my wallet. I pull it out almost anywhere" and in the voice-over the man says, "don't let reading glasses cramp your style". There's nothing more retarded than looking at those losers sit in a dim restaurant who pull out this card to read. So much for the restaurant atmosphere-- the blue LED lights up the entire fucking place.

See I would be more understanding and sympathetic towards the people who can't afford reading glasses. On television its sells for $15 which sounds like a buy (it has a light and all), but I don't think reading glasses are terribly expensive, only about $10 at the drugstore. Plus shipping and handling for the Owl, you're looking at another $15, so you're better off just getting the glasses. I have an image of the old man grinning at the camera because he snagged the card at such an affordable price (damn stupid prick). Holy jeebus.

The part that really does my head in is when the voice over goes and lists all the tasks you can use the reading card for:

• read ingredients on a can
• read books
• verify receipts
• read computer screens
• look at buttons
• look at telephone key pad
• guide you to safety

and some other random things. Jesus fuck, don't be a moron, just get glasses. Become fashionable and make a fucking statement.
