New Specs For 2013

A couple weekends ago I made the usual trek to go see Dr. Bambi Blaster for my annual eye exam.  I've had my old pair of glasses for a couple years now.  I really like them and was tempted to just stay with them, but I had been told that I needed to get out of my box 2 or 3 times in the space of 2 days, so I decided that I would.  Check out the new specs that came in the mail on Monday.  I think I picked them out in less than half an hour, so that could explain a few things - impulse buy!

They told me geek chic was in, so I went with it.  At least half way.  Although to me, it seems like in order to get out of my box, I actually went further into my box.  These glasses seem more engineer-y to me.  Or maybe getting a little too close to my rec specs?  My new ones are metal - they're brown on the front, and then the bows are a green color with a small hole pattern in the bows as well.  Only two people commented on them at work over the space of 4 days, so either most people aren't observant or they think they're ugly.  One lady at work did notice right away and said she liked them.  And, 3 or 4 people at meeting this morning told me they liked them, so I think they pass muster.

For those who want to know, the new ones have transition lenses and the anti-glare coating, same as the previous pair.  And digital lenses, whatever that means.  All I know is that it means there are some etchings on the edges of the lenses.  Not sure why.

Geek chic - going deep into the box to get out of the box.
