Eye Test

Today's lunch was spent in queues.  Turns out 8-5 is your most productive time during the day, and when you have a job, you have to compress everything you used to do in those 9hrs into lunch.

The longest queue was getting out of the car park at the bank.  Parking-spot-choice fail.  The ATM was mild, although there was someone standing awkwardly close behind me.  Second last stop was an eye test at the traffic dept.  Good times.

So the eye test involved staring into their machine at some squares, each time one had a different pattern. I was pleased to see something other than those coster numbers.  I got to block 7 and went all teary eyed.  I got it wrong.  I always get the last one wrong... which got me thinking.  At what point do you fail an eye test?  Is it an in-joke amongst traffic department eye testers that they push you until you break.

"Yes sir, in the car park across the road is a white car... on the car is a leaf... on the leaf is a wasp... how many rings does it have on its belly, and what colour are they?"

"Red?  Aah, OK, uuhhhhhhh... out the window you'll see a plane taking off, theres a woman sitting in the third row..."

Either way, the smallest things you have to watch out for on the road are dogs... and if its so far away that you have to squint - you're not in danger of hitting it.  Unless its very small... in which case its probably Ryan's rat.  Ryan needs a rat sitter for the vac, call him.
