Zenni Optical. Glasses for 8 bucks. You may not get the most stylish frames, and shipping can take a while, but they're glasses for 8 fucking dollars (assuming your prescription isn't too high)
You can get nicer frames with more options, but of course that increases the price. Tinwhistler also posted a link to another online place in another thread, but I think they're somewhat more expensive.

cracked a 19" widescreen LCD I was trying to fix this morning. Thankfully it had been donated so it's no money out of my pocket. Huh, I guess that spare backlight I tried to put in really DIDN'T fit.. Oh well, I made the rest of the monitor my new backlight light box for a display unit.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!!!!!
Sometimes I hate my coworkers. Every other week I need them to take 10 minutes to perform a task for me and every time I have to argue with them. There are 3 of them that can do it but they always claim to be to busy. Usually I end up asking them all day for the info or going up there and getting the job done myself. (which is stupid becuase it takes longer to walk up there and back than it odes for them to do it themselves.) So anyways today I bugged them all day to get me the info and finally they send me the info a half hour before the deadline and than they have the gall to tell me next time I ask them the day of they are going to refuse to give me the info. I told them it is every other week on the same day and they can make there own reminder for the task if they don;t want to be "surprised" the day of. But this whole situation is driving me insane I think I may have to bring it to my bosses attention next time I have a meeting with her.

Nope. I posted the same place you did. got me some prescription sunglasses for something like 15 bucks after tinting and shipping.
What does my mom have against online shopping that's making her throw money away? The textbook I need for my english class is 70 bucks in my college's student store, or is 20-30 bucks used on barnes & noble and amazon. She'd rather have me wait until friday to give me 70 to buy it at the student store.
Even adding express delivery, it's way cheaper online.

Do people get more racist as they get older, or is it just they no longer give a shit about putting on pretenses? Seriously, y'all.
I think people are more prone to focus on the negative experiences. Older people, having more experiences, will then think "I had a couple bad experiences with someone of a different race, they must all be like that". That's my theory anyways.
ARRGH!!
AGAIN!!
The mistery guy that puts the music we hear all day here normally plays very good stuff, a lot of variety, a lot of good rock music... but theeeen, on friday he played only elevator music, we were all freakin' falling asleep in here, on Monday and Tuesday he kind of redeemed himself (he played "have you ever seen the rain" yesterday n_n) and noooow AGAAAIN WITH THE ELEVATOR MUSIC, I CAN'T STAND THIIIISSS. I wanna hit him in the head with a giant iPod.

He's either on vacation and replaced with some dim caleya or he has taken a bribe from the Muzac consortium so he can afford to buy you all the things you deserve.
That's what I mean. It pains him to play it. He will eventually rise against his corporate task masters and play the rockenest song ever heard in a cubicle.
Or so I imagine.

I'm glad to hear you caught a break.
If this adds to it making you feel any better, you're one of the few people on Halforum I actually like.
If I were her I'd feel very, very nervous right now.

Anyone that looks that much like my cousin HAS to be a good guy. Plus, he's an ass...like my husband. A funny ass.
I decided that a friendship I'm in isn't very healthy. Normally I try to repair these kinds of problems, but I feel as if this person is intentionally targeting me with their angst. I've tried to lighten the mood and make jokes to cheer the person up, but all I get in return is snide comments and attitude. What's worse is it makes me uncomfortable whenever this person is around, making it so I can't really enjoy my time hanging out with the others in the group.
It makes me a little sad. This isn't the first time we have been through all of this. We used to be close and talk, but now I just don't think it's worth trying to fix the situation. I only hope the other people in my group of friends and I don't drift apart as a result.

I recently went through something similar. One of my best friends... who even was my best friend in the entire world for several years... became too toxic, too alcoholic, too unhealthy. It exploded one night when he was drunkenly kicked out of a bar for being an asshole and even wanted to "kick my ass". Me. His best friend.
Thankfully I got the rest of our group in the "divorce". It still saddens me to this day, though, but I don't regret cutting relations.
