To be or not to be....EyeManFla

[EyeManFla]

Ok, so after swearing for the last five years that I was DONE with the optical business.....I'm now working for an O.D. in North Carolina.

So. here's the question...I've been EyeManFla since 1995....do I change or let it ride ??????

[Steve Machol]

If you decide you want to change your name, just PM me.

[Fezz]

I say why bother.

Do you, or the collective WE, care what your screen name is?

[Jacqui]

Quoting those famous Canadian bards......B.T.O.:

"Ride, ride, ride, ................just let it ride!

[hcjilson]

I'm with uncut on this one, Let it ride Richard. Now I don't have so far to go to almost meet you. I missed you narrowly on 2 occasions in Venice! Good Luck in NC there are some great Optical Folks down there.
Best from Harry

[Johns]

Keep it.

[EyeManFla]

Hey, Harry. Yeah, I was away on vacation here in Raleigh one time and I think I was at the ACC Tournament the other. I absolutely LOVE North Carolina. I should have come here a long time ago.

[Kara]

Keep it.

[EyeManFla]

It has been brought to my attention that over the decade or so that I have been on Optiboard (I know it says 2000, but I've been following OB longer than that) EyeManFla has been known to be a bit...well, cranky. To be fair, in my attempts to educate, EyeManFla may well have been a wee bit....ok, I actually had the VP of a large sunglass company overnight a letter to my employer requesting that I be fired because of a critique I made of his company on OB....

So, according to some, EyeManFla should be retired for a more older, wiser and more agreeable version of EyeMan.......

[hcjilson]

Baloney Richard! "To thine own self be true" You're an up front guy that gets cranky like the rest of us. EyeManFla is a GREAT handle, you should keep it!
Heck, a couple of more threads like this and you'll be FAMOUS!

In that case. I'LL buy it off of you! Screw Mr Sunglass VP.

[EyeManFla]

Johns, here is the irony....I brought that sunglass line into the office, not my boss.

[EyeManFla]

Oh, Harry...you remember the days between say 2001 and 2006. I got the occasional note from Steve to tone it down a bit, which was cool.....

The running argument with Walter...er, I mean Pete....about his stinking Nittany Lions........

My constant referral to Luxottica as the "Evil Empire"...which was really good because I worked at Pearle....

My usual rants about how bad most of the "Licensed" opticians were in the state of Florida...and pretty much the optical business in Florida in general.........

BUT, that's all behind me now. SO, EyeManFla stays.......

besides, "The Optician formally Known as EyeManFla" sounded really stupid.....

[hcjilson]

Good for you! harry

[gmc]

I'm a little jealous of your username.

[EyeManFla]

yeah, I've had it for a long, long time.......every time I'd go to POF I'd get a load of crap about it......I must have been the first optician in the state of Florida to own a computer....
