Fail

In the past week, we’ve broken three drinking glasses, and I lost my eye glasses.

Fail is what my backup hard drive did this weekend. I weep at all the lost 1′s and 0′s on that little POS… :(

Casualties in the last week, filtered for “glass”:

110-year-old bookshelf door, plus bleeding elbow
2 pieces from frames while moving art
2 drinking glasses

It’s been a weird week, glass-wise. Good luck with the eyeglasses.

This made me think about the scene in Airplane where the main dude confesses he has a drinking problem. (Can’t find a clip on YouTube.) Not that you or Chef dribble on yourselves.

I’d say y’all are some Professional Drinkers if you’re going through glasses at that rate.

Loosing eyeglasses is a major suck. Particularly for those of us living in the same city, as you’re now driving around blind—again.

This post now begs the following questions:

1. How did you break the glasses?
2. Was there liquid inside the glasses at the time they were broken?
3. What kind of glasses were they?
4. Were they expensive?
5. What was the fair market value of the glasses?
6. Can they be replaced?
7. Were they purchased from a store, received as gifts, or inherited from a deceased relative?
8. Are you trying harder to not break glasses?
9. Have you given consideration to Pyrex or plastic wares?
