You Know You're Old When...

This seems like a good idea...



Aaaaand let the Grandad jokes begin... I have bought my first glasses 'chain', because I'm sick of taking my glasses off at work, then forgetting where I've put them. I blame modern fashion, as it's now really hard to find shirts with a breast pocket... that I could put my glasses in when I'm not wearing them. And because I only need them for reading, or computing, I take them off when I'm talking to people, or driving, or walking, or lifting carpet/rugs/timber... in other words, about 66% of my work day & if I leave them at my desk when talking with clients & need to consult price tags, or product notes, I have to excuse myself to go & get them... often to find they're not where I thought I'd left them. Then, the reverse is also true, I'll get up from my desk still wearing them, put them down somewhere when speaking with a client, then return to my desk, only to both mentally & physically retrace my steps in order to find the damn things... Well - no more!!!

The Boss asked why I bought a bright red cord. Simple - it will stand out much more than a pair of dark framed glasses, no matter where I'll probably end up taking the whole kit'n'caboodle off & leaving it somewhere around the place. Today was my first day with the cord & I pronounce it a relative success - I only stabbed myself in the eye twice when putting them back on
