Optical illusion Part I

Optical illusion Part I

Day 1: The optic shop opened late and I was kept waiting outside. The boss calls me "boy" while the lady boss calls me by the name, haha. I feel so tired now. Not tired because I was busy, tired because I feel so helpless. The shop was busy with a lot of people today and since I was new here, I couldnt do much to help my lady boss. She was busy entertaining her customers while teaching me at the same time. I'm learning how to use all the high-tech optometry machines in the shop. Yup that's right, I doing things like what a typical optometrist are doing and at a much lower cost. I'm a cheap labour.

I am already working OT on my first day. Tired and sleepy, i'm trying to keep myself awake somehow like if there is something for me to look forward to. I spend most of my time helping to "entertain" the customers by doing small chats with them, cleaning up lenses and managing invoices. Making a spectacle, it's really not as easy as you think.

Time flies when you are preoccupied with stuff. I dont even have time to wander my thoughts around because I was really focusing on how to operate the machine. She showed me once and "expect" me to get it. She doesnt seem to understand the fact that "Hello, earth to lady boss. I'm not train in optometry so can you teach slower?" She is a very nice boss, I'm just whining a bit here haha. Really, she is very nice to me, much nicer than the "boy" calling husband of her, lol.

She asked me to change the nose bridge on my spectacles today because she feels that I look nicer with a bigger bridge. I dont see a difference though, is it really nicer now?

I know that once I started working, there is no way for me to look forward to at night.

I need you to whisper in my ear,

and tell me the things that I want to hear.

Your words so encouraging like a cheerleader's cheer.

I just really wish that you were here.

So many things to say but nowhere near,

My oh my, hold tightly dear.

This optical illusion is making me tear.

How I wish I could get things clear.

Cuz you're no Jack, you're my nightmare fear.
