The Optometrist!

I went to the eye doctor yesterday. I joyfully viewed the back of my own eyeball and...discovered that I can NOT be an optometrist!

It's just the reality of it. This guy probably went to years and years of college. He got all his degrees and devoted himself to his career. He gets a good paycheck and is highly esteemed. But...now, for the rest of his life, this guy is going to be sitting alone in a mundane Palatine strip mall next to a Wendy's. A couple people will come in every once in a while, and when they do, the highlight of his day is sitting in a really dark room repeating, "So is this one clearer... or is this one?" So depressing! And plus, this guy is still really young; his youth is being wasted away in that dark room! And it's not like he's getting out of there anytime soon; he spent all those years in college trying to get there and now he's devoted himself! D:

It was extremely sad. It just reinforces the fact that I won't be able to have a normal job. I just can't do that.

My "Being A Hobo And Just Scraping Up Enough Dollars To Purchase A Big Mac Everyday" career choice suddenly seems a lot more bounteous :)
